RE: Ladies of Hive Community Contest #86 - What is the most extreme example of poverty you have ever seen?

You are right in poor Countries there are many such people who till the last days of their lives have to keep struggling to feed themselves.
Oh my dear, you would be surprised to read about some cases in India where the beggars have managed to buy apartments in the most posh localities of the city. The network guys are also there, they run it like a business and that's dangerous because they harm kids in that and make them beg.
In my city, when I come across a child beggar I give them food but so many times they refuse to take that and only demand for money. Some times you do not know who is genuine and who is into business.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts @atyourservice

This is all too crazy, a lot children we see begging on the streets were actually trafficked and forced to do that, so sad.
You really can’t tell which one is genuine and which one is on the clock 🤦🏾‍♀️ We just have to do our best to help the ones we can.
Thank you for writing back.

Absolutely. It's very difficult to differentiate.
