This is sort of like the advice i was given when traveling. Don’t give money to begging children. They have handlers in the background who get the money and giving it incentivizes them to force more children into begging.

I remember walking around Berlin and a Gypsy lady was in one of the tourist areas with a small child. I was stopped in the area for about 15 minutes and I was watching the lady. She would pinch or coax the small child to cry or tear up while walking around asking for money. Saying things like she needs a doctor and the like. Disgusting.
