This may sound funny,strange or unbelievable,but the FACT is that the Beggar Mafia exists and it tortures and maims people to make them beg.

A considerable majority of beggars are children.Most of the children are taken away or kidnapped by the mafia when they're just babies.These babies are then not fed for days altogether so that they keep on crying uncontrollably all day and the people passing by should have some sympathy for them and then give alms to another beggar who's holding the baby.

Also,when the infant is not fed properly,then he/she suffers from chronic nutritional deficiencies like Marasmus - due to which they have deformed bodies and stunted growth.The poor kids are also kept all day in the scorching sun so that their tender skin develops hyperpigmentation.

Same with adults and the aged too.They're kidnapped and then their limbs are forcibly maimed and even their blood vessels (of a particular part of the body) are stitched to block blood supply,so that the part of the body develops gangrene.Many other things are done to torture and terrorise them,like - their eyesight is removed,they're beaten almost everyday,they're made to sit naked or wear tattered rags etc.

The logic of the Mafia behind all this is that the more a person is tortured or tormented,the more disdain and unfortunate he looks - all this will invoke more sympathy amongst the people who will then give them alms and the alms too will be more for a person who's in the worst condition.

The children,who should be going to school,are made to learn the "ways and nuances" of begging,such as - the most appropriate place to beg,the kind of people one "should" approach for begging,the kind of "dialogues and mannerisms" that would make everyone sympathise with you and give alms to you etc,etc.The beggars don't even get any share of the alms they get.They have to report at the end of everyday and "deposit" their collected alms to the mafia of their "area".

The Beggar Mafia,so far, is reported to exist in India,Pakistan,China,Nepal,Tibet,Indonesia,Russia,Thailand,Italy,Hungary,Bulgaria - its practically all over the world.But it operates behind the scenes.

Organised begging rings are reported to be common in the cities of South Asia and Africa.

This is a serious violation of human rights.

The situation is really alarming and the number of beggars is increasing day by day with the extremely impoverished people giving away their babies to the Beggar Mafia in return for a few bucks per month and to get rid of the extra responsibilty.

We must do something to stop this exploitation and raise awareness about this grave problem.What should be done,people?Please let me know your views.

According to the latest reports by CNN-IBN,"Doctors" too,are involved in this Beggar Mafia thing.It is the doctors (that too well-known & well-qualified ones)who are actually helping the mafia by chopping of the limbs of the people or by developing Gangrene in their body parts.And they charge between ten to 40 thousand bucks for this dirty job.Thus creating beggars out of healthy humans.

To make the entire process look legal,they make the poor person sign a document of consent saying that the limb was damaged in an accident,so now its useless and has to be amputated.So ends the possibility of calling it illegal!That's how this Mafia works.This network is much widepread than it appears to be.

You know,the policemen themselves collect "weekly cut" from these beggars,which is in native language called "hafta"!How will they take any action against this,when they themselves are partners in this dirty business!

The matter was exposed through a special investigation by the CNN-IBN team.There was a huge uproar throughout the nation.

But till date nothing has been done to look up into this matter and no action taken against the Mafia people.The media left it as another scoop.

Besides that the fact that children all over the world are being abuse in many different ways. Especially in Thailand were children are made to be sexual playmates for these sick people.That a country would allow that to happen that this world we live allows that to happen. Who is really to blame. Wheter what your believes are I think that moral believes should be what everyone should believe in. Whats is right for everyone. The respect for human life. Kids are brought into this world without hate,remorse,racial free and we have adults outhere who how i dont know abuse these right and target our kids and we let them go and aloow them to move int the areas where kids congrgate. What is up with that.One looks into a kids eye and you see what the world is about what life is about. Even with the horrible event of katrina the there was some kids who had a smile on there face thats a beauty only kids and maybe some adults can have. Life as a crcle comes back ti kids. Without them there is no life. Dont let these bastards take that frm them do something about it because its getting worse not better. i love my kids they can be a pain in the ass but i was like that too and i am sure everyone was like that but my parents love me and i understand now what they were doing. Its a different world 30 years ago. I wish it was like then now.

Wow. That is barberic. Money is truly the root of all evil. This matter should definitely be raised to the public's eye , i agree with you.
