RE: Should I Give Money to a Begging Child When Traveling?

in Pinmapple3 years ago

That's a well-written Tim. I can't agree with you anymore. Tourists should not give money to small children for many reasons.
Several popular tourist spots in Viet Nam- esp some provinces in northern highlands that children have been pushed to go out, sell things and beg for money. Many parents are taking advantage of tourists’ compassion for small children. and even forcing their kids to sell things in the cold weather, which is pitiful....!!
I think we can help the kids in more practical ways not by giving them money.
Thanks for sharing thí great article 😊
