Garinda, I agree wholeheartedly.
I understand that children are 'borrowed' from other beggars to be used in what might be described as emotional blackmail. I consider this to be abuse.
I don't give hard cash to anyone who begs although I have no problem buying them some food, but occasionally this is a mistake. A friend of mine gave a couple of Greggs pasties to a beggar sat outside Woolies on Broadway and was thanked by having them thrown back at her accompanied by a barrage of abuse. Obviously not as hungry as he made out!!
