Quoting azade:

This happens a lot in touristic areas.
Once I heard a mother of one of these kids tell her daughter that it was time to go home. They had just dressed up in torn clothes and probably smeared dirt on themselves. She didn't know I understood what she said.
I never give anything to those children because I know their mothers are waiting around the corner to see how many naive tourists they can lure with their little innocent faces. It's not their fault, rather their terbiyesiz parents'.



Yes. Thats exactly why we keep candy in our car (you get a lot of them too when you stand still on the road) and I keep some in my bag. For a while I also carried around those nazar degemsin small nazar boncuk, that I put on them. They are just kids, attention will make them happy. Its a shame if some of them really have no food and really come from poor families, but Id rather donate to a sokak cocuklar foundation than to the beggars on the street.

Meet your neighbourly drug runner. Hayes...He is a good American. I bet he would have no problem getting a visa to Britain...

For good old time's sake....

reality is, sometimes parents do send their kids to do what they do. and take their money.
one of the novels on this Hugo - L'homme qui rit.
give them flowers sometimes and they smile.
bath them and they are happier.
let them use binoculars and they will think it is... magic.
WORKING IN HELPING THIS PEOPLE IS MAGIC.

Quoting SuiGeneris:


While i walk on the streets... i face those alot... so to choose the difference... i just give money to whom tries to sell a gum, or tissues... not to all ofcourse... you kinda understand or feel who is cheating or not...



When I'm in an area like this, I give bread, bananas or things that have nutritional value and are easy to eat. Many of these people have bad teeth. Candy and sweets are not nutritious.
