would you like to give money to beggars on the streets.

Now, i don't give money to beggars anymore...because there are too many fake beggars. i rather give money for charity group than give directly to fake beggars...

Most of the time, I am not giving anything from the street beggars especially the kids. When I was at the park in the town near our workplace waiting for my wife, a lot of kids there are keep to asking money from me. I just said no because, I can see their parents sitting there too. I saw one by-stander gave money to one of the kids, the kid suddenly ran to his mother and gave the money to her. Also, the other kids suddenly went to the guy who gave money and ask to give them too. It is because the kid, which he gave money, told the others that the guy gave him money and instructed them to go to him and ask. I don't really know why their parents, still strong enough to have a good job, forced their kids to beg for something to others.

Hello Zhizho.Some time ago I watched a documentary about the homeless here in the United State. According to the documentary many of the people shown on there have made begging into a profession. One lady lived a block from the area she begged from. She told people that she was stranded and needed money to get back home. She made enough to be buying a house. She would beg in the morning then go home dress up and go shopping in the afternoon Several people said they would work for food but when given the chance to mow a yard only one showed up but said he would not do it again. In the past I have given gas to a couple that had ran out of gas and another time I bought food for a man. He was wanting taxi money so he could get to another part of town. Then there was a woman I heard talking on the pay phone and it sounded like she really needed help so I drove her to a gas station where she could get home from. I am very picky about How and when I help People. I haven't seen any children begging here where I live. I seldom carry cash so usually couldn't give any money to any one begging even if I wanted to.

no i don`t.. the beggar in my city is not really poor..some of them are really lazy...and some of us in this city know it.. i see with myself, sometimes they use "our money" with coming into the mall..so it is useless for donating them..Mostly of them are really lazy

Hi there Zhizho I don't know that beggars are rampant in the world, I thought I can only found young beggars like you describe in the Philippines. Here, mother's even carry their infant child with doctor's prescription to beg for money. I guess not only them were under syndicate, most are really poor who's homeless. I do sometimes give a coins but sometimes not. They also ask for food if you have it in your hand and I give food as long as I've eaten a bit of it, ofcourse I'm hungry too. Happy to know that you help poor in legal way. Keep it up!

There are many many beggars in my country, too. I never give them money, because I know that the money does not stay with them, but it goes to the people who organized the network. Also, if you give them money, you will encourage begging, and this is not something we want to do. I always prefer to buy them something to eat or give them some clothes to put on, instead of money.

Actually i don't like to give money to beggars on the streets.That was not give them a good education.They will be lazy and don't want to hard work. It's not about affection.Sometimes they're organized by some people and the beggars have to give the money for the leader.I prefer to give the money for social community or religion activities.I don't know maybe some people have different opinion with me.

Here in my city there are so many beggars too especially I am living near to the church where you can see most of the kids beggars playing and running to asked money for every people passing by. I preferred to give foods than money because I know that they need food than money and also I know that they very hungry. Its very sad that many people who let their children to stay in street and beg for money instead of taking care of them and sending them to school. I know most fo us are experiencing difficulties in money but i think as a parents were responsible for the safety, needs and foods of our children than let them begged on street which is very dangerous.
