Alarming amount of child/underage street beggars.

whenever I go out to buy something or for a usual walk towards the nearby bazaar I encounter tons of underage children begging for money on a regular. keep in mind I've also seen this this happen also at late hours in the night, I try to ask them where is their house/parent but most of the time they seem to not reply in a timid manner, from their appearance alone they done seem like someone with a begging habit cuz their tidy. from what it seems to me its the parents of those underage street beggars that make them develop this habit.
