    "Better late than Never"
    Karnataka Govt can set the bench mark to abolish child labour and child begging and achieve it and set a goal to other Indian States also. In Child Labour, child begging should also be abolished.There should be a ban on CHILD BEGGING, WHICH IS CRUDEST FORM OF CHILD LABOUR, IN WHICH THE POLICEMEN ALSO GET HAFTAS, where infants and children are either given birth or kidnapped and misused (even maimed) by cruel and heartless people. stop giving money to babies and children. THEY ARE MADE TO BEG IN THE SCORCHING SUN, COLD AND RAINS and THE MONEY COLLECTED BY THEM IS USED BY THE SCOUNDRELS AND IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO COLLECT ENOUGH MONEY THEY ARE DONE AWAY WITH. Even, if these children survive somehow, the girls go in the flesh trade and boys become thieves or some anti social elements. Only give food, clothing and shelter. better still you may give the money to good NGOs, who will rehabilitate the innocent babies and children and finally THE SCOUNDRELS WILL STOP MISUSING INNOCENT CHILDREN FOR THEIR SELFISH GAINS. REMEMBER ALL CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT AND VULNERABLE AND CANNOT FIGHT THE CRUEL WORLD ON THEIR OWN. PLEASE STOP GIVING ALMS TO BABIES AND CHILDREN AND ALSO, TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WHO IN TURN SHOULD SPREAD THE NEWS TO EVERY INDIAN. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SAVE OUR INNOCENT CHILDREN. NA RAHENGI BAS NA BAJEGI BASOORI.

    are innocent and misused to meet the selfish end of cruel adults who know the little children cannot retaliate. Especially I feel sorry for the child beggars who slog in the rain, sun, cold. small babies are even given drugs so that they sleep throught the ordeal, these adults donot have slightest sympathy towards the small children. Lets all join hands and put an end to this misery, it is difficult to stop because, it is a big money making racket, HOWER THERE IS HOPE. STOP GIVING MONEY TO CHILD BEGGARS AUTOMATICALLY THE SYSTEM OF USING SMALL CHILDREN FOR BEGGING WILL FALL

    We have to take care of our children. there are some people who look like poor but actually lazy they only give birth to children and sell them for begging or some agencies for money. it is very very difficult to keep track. I remember once when I read not give money to children because they will be misused. our government is not interest in bringing population down and so called people who act like poor beat the children, sell them for begging and other agencies. it is high time we have to protect our children so maNy are just on the roads all over India please people have pity on them and rehabilitate them and punish the SO CALLED parents if you speak to the children on road they will not open up they are scared because they will be beaten badly or given cigerrate marks we have to save this children from the roads and punish the adults who you see playing cards or lazing around some other place. government is only increasing population so that they will get more votes but in long run the children are suffering. these children who are small and cannot fight themselves the adult world and we people just see and ignore as if it is not our business but we forget tomorrow our own child can also become victim by kidnapping or other way.

    Shocking to see MLA is missing. All these People on the show were driving almost everyday by Hampankatta Junction,Jyothi Circle Junction and Lalbaugh Juction many times but they did not see this problem from years. Mr Ivan D'Souza parks His vehicle in front of the MCC Building, where Young Ladies with Babies are begging everyday. But He did not see this problem. Mayor Harinath stops at the junction in front of MCC where Ladies with Babies come in between the vehicles but He did not see this problem. Now there is a big show where publicity is free of cost.
    I have contacted 1098 child line many times and they told me that they do not know under which Law they could take action.
    I did not give up but contacted Child Welfare Office in DC Office Building,near Naline Kateel's office. I met young Kind Men and Women from that Office. With the help of a Kind Lady from Roshni Nilaya,they arrested and sent the Children to Bondel Ashram, few times. I have even contacted Ex ACP and Traffic Inspectors regarding the problem but nothing happened.
    All Show.
