"Pregnant women" beg and "get pregnant" year after year. Is there an industrial chain behind it?

Recently, a photo of a pregnant woman begging became popular on the Internet. The photo shows a pregnant woman kneeling on the sidewalk with a big belly begging for life-saving money for her husband, with a piece of paper in front of her.

She said that she was a teacher in a school. Her husband had a tumor in the hospital the year before last, and it recurred this year. She needs surgery immediately, and the surgery still needs 60,000 to 70,000. Our family is heavily in debt, and we still need a lot of money to save our lives. There is really no way out, so we have to beg in the streets and seek the help of good people.

Vendors doing business on the side said that pregnant women's stomachs have not changed for three years, and people who feel that they have given money have been cheated. There are also vendors who say that the pregnant woman is kneeling and begging in another square. It's almost three years, and the pregnant woman's stomach is still so big that it hasn't changed at all.

? At present, there are many similar professional beggars, some dressed as pregnant women, some dressed as children begging in the street, some dragging their semi-disabled bodies, or kneeling down to bow to passers-by, or begging for pedestrians, scattered in all corners of the city ... even driven by interests, many begging children have been bought or even stolen by traffickers, causing countless families to fall into deep pain. These ragged beggars seem pitiful, but after investigation by the police, it is found that the average daily income of these professional beggars is four or five hundred yuan, and the monthly income is easily over ten thousand yuan.

People find that when they turn around and squander the money they beg for, people who do good deeds will feel cheated and hurt, and many people will completely lose trust in similar fundraising and no longer have good thoughts. So that families who really need help in life lose the opportunity to be helped.

These professional beggars often choose to gather at major traffic intersections or beg in crowded subways, which undoubtedly brings great security risks to driving safety. Sometimes these beggars will pester pedestrians and follow them all the way when they see that they don't stop to give money, and they will never stop until they get the money. Such ragged beggars gather more and more in the city after tasting the sweetness of getting something for nothing, which seriously affects the image of the city. And there are many professional beggars who don't think it is a shameful thing to cheat others' kindness, but a kind of work, and these professional beggars may be much richer than us.

"At the beginning of life, human nature is good." China people have a traditional kind mind. When encountering such beggars, most citizens often lend a helping hand. Although charity is generally not too much, it also gives them some comfort. After all, I helped them and did good deeds. Donating money to charity is certainly worth promoting, but the way of charity needs to be considered, because the effect of charity is the most important.
