There are lot of streets or rathere homeless kids here and i would usually just give them money without my concern of what they are going to buy with it.
What about you? do you refrain from giving out money to homeless people because you believe that they are going to spend it on booze or maybe you give out money with the hope that they would buy something useful to them?

hi
yes, whenever a kid comes up and ask for money, i give money to the kid. I give to kids or handicapped people only.
When a kid is begging it seems to me that this kid was suppose to go to school like other kids. Instead he is begging and he is not responsible for his condition. This idea makes me to overlook the issue of what he may do with the money.

And what will you do or say few minutes after you gave that kid few coins and when you come back you find them drinking booze? with that money you gave them? sometimes if a beggar comes to you begging for money and you think of what could happen with the money you give to them, you just feel like is just a waste of time and your money.

hi
I have never experienced such a situation where a kid is drinking a booze. Normally these poor kids are so hungry that i have rather seen them rushing to a shop and get few breads.
May be some of the kids behave differently. But when i give a kid something, i hope he'll using it for good purposes. If He doesn't do that certainly he will not be doing the right thing.

hi
I give the kids money with a good intention. You are right, i can take them to shop etc. There are various ways to help these less fortunate kids. But for i follow the most suitable one for me.
I don't think all of them go to drink a booze. May be few of them do such things. Still there is another group who use the money in a better way. When I give them money i think that they belong to the 2nd group. May be sometimes i'm wrong and other times i;m right.

Yes i do that.
When go to market places, train station or bus stand, i found there some homeless kids. I give them some money whatever i can. In some occasion i use to to give them some clothes and foods too. I always feel that they need our help.
I believe that Man is for man kind. So this my duty to help the helpless people.

Ya i agree, we should help this kind of people but you find that some of them just ran out of their homes just to stay on the streets and nobody chased them at home.most of the time if someone like come to me and begging for money i would normally say "lets go to the shop and i'll buy you bread".thanks
