WHY IS THE CHILD IN HANDS OF THE BEGGARS
ALWAYS SLEEPING??????????????
"Why is
sleeping child in the hands of beggars? Have you ever wondered ... "
This article I
read a few months ago. Who is the author of, I don't know.
Please read…..
""Near
the metro station sits a woman of uncertain age.
Women’s hair
is confused and
dirty, her head bowed in grief.
The woman sits on
the dirty floor and next to her lies a bag. In that bag
people throw
money. On the hands of a woman, asleep, is a two year old baby. He's in a dirty
hat and dirty clothes.
“Madonna with
baby” - numerous passers-by will donate money. The people of our kind- we
always feel sorry for less fortunate. We are ready to give unfortunate people
the last shirt, the last penny out of your pocket and never think another
issue.
Helping, seems
like. “Good job done”...
I walked past a
beggar for a month. Did not give any money, as I knew that this is a gang
operated scam and money collected by the beggar will be given to whoever controls
beggars in the area. Those people own numerous luxury properties and cars.
Oh and beggar
also gets something, of course “ A bottle of vodka in the evening and a döner
kebab”.
A month later,
walking past the beggars, as shock, it suddenly
hit me….
I'm staying at a
busy crossing, stared at the baby, dressed as always- dirty track suit. I
realized that it
seemed
"wrong", finding a child in a dirty underground station from morning
to evening.
The baby slept.
Never sobbed or screamed, always asleep, burying his face in the knee of a
woman who was his MUM.
Do any of you,
dear readers, have children? Remember how often they
slept at the age
of 1-2-3 years? Hour two, maximum three (not consecutive)
afternoon nap,
and again – movement. For the whole month, every day of my
walking in the
underground, I've never seen a child awake! I looked
at the tiny
little man, with his face buried in the knee of his mother, then at the beggar,
and my
suspicion was
gradually formed.
– Why he sleeps
all the time? I asked, staring at the baby.
The beggar
pretended not to hear me. She lowered her eyes and
hid her face in
the collar of her shabby jacket. I repeated the question. The woman again
looked up. She
looked somewhere behind my back, tired with utter irritation. Her look was
similar to the creatures from a different planet.
-F **k off ...
her lips murmured.
-Why is he
asleep?! I almost cried ...
Behind me someone
put his hand on my shoulder. I looked back. A some old man was looking at me
disapprovingly:
– What do you
want from her? Can’t you see how hard she’s got it in her life… Eh …
He gets some
coins from his pocket and throws them in the beggar’s bag.
Beggar made a
hand wave of a cross, portraying the face of humility and universal
grief. The guy
removed his hand from my shoulder and strolled out of the underground station.
I bet, at home,
he will tell how he defended poor, distraught woman from a soulless man in a
tube station.
Next day I called
a friend. It was a funny man with eyes like olives Romanian nationality. He
only managed to complete three and a half years of education. The complete lack
of education does not prevent him from moving around the
City streets on
very expensive foreign cars and live in a “small” house with countless number
of windows and balconies. From my friend I managed to find out that this
business, despite the apparent
spontaneity,
clearly organized. Its supervised by begging organized crime rings. The
children used are in "rent"
from families of
alcoholics, or simply stolen.
I needed to get
the answer to the question – why is the baby sleeping? And I received it. My
friend Gypsy said the phrase, completely ordinary with calm voice that twisted
me in shock, just like he was talking about weather report:
-They are on
heroin, or vodka ...
I was
dumbfounded. "Who is on heroin? Whom – under vodka?! "
He answered
-The Child, so he
doesn’t scream. The women will be sitting whole day with him, imagine how he might
get bored?
In order to make
the baby slept the whole day, it pumped up with vodka or drugs. Of course,
children's bodies are not able to cope with such a shock. And children often
die. The most terrible thing – sometimes children die
during the
"working day". And imaginary mother must hold another dead child on
her hands until the evening. These are the rules. And the by passers-by will
throw some money in the bag, and believe that they are moral. Helping
"mother
alone" …
… The next day I
was walking near the same underground station. I stocked up journalistic
identity, and was ready for a serious conversation. But the conversation didn't
work out. But turned out the following ...
A woman was
sitting on the floor and in her hands she was holding a child. I asked her a
question about the documents on the child, and, most importantly, where was
yesterday's kid, which she simply ignored.
My questions were
not ignored by passers-by. I was told that I was out of my mind screaming at
poor beggar with a child. All in all, I was escorted out of the tube station in
disgrace. One thing remained was to call the police. When police arrived,
beggar with the baby disappeared. I stood with a full sense of - “I'm trying to
fight windmills”.
When you see in
the subway, on the street whether women with children,
begging, think
before your hand climb for money. Think about that, if it wasn't for your
hundreds of thousands of handouts, the business like this would have died. The
business would die and not the children-inflated with vodka or
drugs. Do not
look at the sleeping child with affection. See horror… Since you're reading
this article, you know now- why the child is sleeping in beggars hands.
P.S.
If you copy this
article on your wall or just click "Share", your friends will read it
too.
And when you
decide again to open your wallet to throw a coin to a beggar, remember that
this
charity could
cost another child's life.""
