INVESTIGATION RELATED TO CHILD BEGGARS

By; whom? Roll No... ? Group? 

u sould mention this all here too

This was an investigation designed in different steps to identify the main issues related to child begging. The first step involved identifying the areas in the city where child beggars worked. The second step comprised a series of interviews of the children. To earn their trust, the quiry was carried out in several stages. First we identified child beggars and made contact through an initial conversation. They were then approached again on several occasions to establish a climate of confidence. The children opened up very quickly and were readily involved in the session.Once they were given attention, they were very eager to talk and to provide the information requested. This investigation was possible because the children generally have well-defined begging territories. Some children work an area rather than a fixed location, their patch is generally very small and finding them is easy. Areas involved were the traffic signals, cloth markets, street food outlets etc. Interview consisted of open discussions with the children carried out in public places. Once the child had left, the information collected during the discussion was written down and also recorded so that details would not be forgotten or missed.


Characteristics and organization of beggars

The pattern to classify the information was in three categories. The first covered personal characteristics was age, sex, and whether or not they lived with their parents. The term “Parents” is used in the broad sense to mean all the adults of the household, and is not limited to the biological parents. The second category covers the situation of the parents, specifically their employment finally, the third category concerns the organization of begging.

During the interviews with children we came to know that parents of many children were alive and having proper health(no disability) but then after they were not working for the betterment of their children. Most of the male parent were addicted to drugs and punishes children if they don't beg for money. These children got beaten and being abused during this activity but they are bound by parents to bring money so that they can have food once a day.  This is hardly surprising, since the children turn to other activities beyond a certain age. Children moved to words more profitable activities such as washing cars, carrying parcels etc. The critical age is around 10 years, and could be tied to the fact that younger children inspire more pity than older once. Children start begging on their own at age 4 or 5. This does not mean that children below 4 do not beg. However, rather, they are accompanied by relatives or an adult as they generally not sufficiently autonomous to be left unattended. our invewtigation has excluded these children.

  Girls are as involved in begging as boys, but girls are less likely to beg in the street beyond age 10 because they have issues like sexual abuse,harassment etc, so they find domestic work as housemaids. The primary activity of these children is begging. They do not go to school, but this does not prove that a dichotomy exists between schooling and begging. Our most interviews took place during the day, in other words, at a time when children are supposed to be in school. As a result, our investigatio can only include unschooled children. However,  some children beg after school, other than that children who works during the day begs at night. It is limited to those whose sole activity is begging. The children involved are from families who are unable to pay for schooling.
Data on the situation of parents shed light on the family context of begging. Of all parents, only 2 mothers and 3 fathers have no occupations, and only 1 of the 11 children belong to households where at least one adult has an occupation, and the majority of children have 2 active parents. The concept of occupation is used broadly and includes begging, collecting garbage etc. For all parents, the occupation may be considered as informal.

Among mothers, out of 5 are also beggars, and in all cases they work in causal employment (street vendor, washer woman, etc.) Father also holds jobs that are typical of poor households (porter, coalman, garbage collector, etc.) Finally, some parents do not work owing to illness or disability and other due to addiction to drugs which is also an abnormality,all families of child baggers live in extreme poverty.

 The information collected on the organization of begging covers travel to the begging area, begging itself and the way the money is spend. The use of physical violence by parents against children to ensure that they bring the money is horrified.

Conclusion

The child begging mafia exists in our society and the prime reason is poverty due to which children,adult as well as aged people are begging in streets so that they can have food to eat. Human can survive in most difficult conditions but food is the basic need for which everyone makes effort on daily routine and to some begging has become a cause of their survival. So they feel no difficulty to  come forward and ask for money to survive in hard times. Many organizations like Rotaract leading by Fozia Kerio are working on daily basis to do good for these people but the numbers are huge and we have to make positive efforts by putting our own interest apart and work for a noble cause to feed the starving.
