Kids in the intersection
Re: Kids in the intersection
I am not really sure how inappropriate it is to post picture of children here, however i just want to share.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

I think that is a great photo...nothing inappropriate about it. It protects their dignity by hiding their faces, yet does so in a natural way that is also part of the sad, conflicting, very real story that this photo tells.Samouth wrote:I am not really sure how inappropriate it is to post picture of children here, however i just want to share.

Re: Kids in the intersection
It's a great photo that tells a story - and makes me even more angry about the adults that a) are the parents that rent these kids out or b) are the Fagans that profit from the misery of these kids. What an absolute tragedy.Samouth wrote:

Ditto on the pic - Poignant
As mentioned in the thread there are a growing number of gluesniffers omnipresent along the riverside. I get the feeling there is one woman who may have even given birth to her baby along there.
The trinket selling kids are all organised by goons, and the ladies begging with kids outside Chiang Mai are professional beggars - doing it for years.
You can't even be sure with the old stooped over ladies either. I wrote once before of watching one work a section along Psar Kandal. Once she turned the corner, she stood bolt upright and walked off quiet ably with her loot.

Brings to mind one of the woman beggars working the riverfront for years. Now she seems to have moved on to selling books on the riverfront. But back when she was begging, she always had at least one kid with her, sometimes more. And of the kids, there was always one that was obviously injured or diseased. For the longest time she had the hydrocephalus kid (with the giant head) with her. Then he disappeared and she had a half-starved looking infant. Then he disappeared and she had some young girl with a shabbily splinted arm. I tried intervening a couple of times but the story was so convoluted and impenetrable I gave up.

H. Kid is wheeled out around Psaar TTP from time to time.

Re: Kids in the intersection
I remember going for a stroll down the quays with my folks years ago. We stopped near those shrines and got swamped by beggars. My mom was horrified about that hydrocephalus kid. I suppose he must be dead by now. RIP.LTO wrote:For the longest time she had the hydrocephalus kid (with the giant head) with her.

Re: Kids in the intersection
This picture might had proven that most of the children beggars that you guys might have seen walking and running around at the traffic lights were exploited and ordered to do it by older people.

This cheap person brought his kids and nephew and niece (3 children) in the early morning to beg money from people. His motorbike is much more better than most of people who give money to the kid. I am so frustrated and scared seeing them standing close to the wheels of the car. This picture shot at the traffic light near Olympic water tower.
