Street begging at times i feel takes advantage of the less privileged. And some countries it has been linked to human trafficking. Some human trafficking syndicates promise people of better lives in other countries but in actual fact the people end up in the street begging, not for themselves though, for their captors. Moreover handicapped people are always put on the street by their guardians to beg. Which i feel is totally uncalled for. These people are supposed to care for them and love them. If they cant afford to take care for their basic needs why not ask for help from the authorities? Some even go to the extent of using them for personal gain. Not only that, street begging annoys some people. Not all people are compassionate therefore those in need should follow the correct channel where the compassionate could come and help them not disturb everyone.
Therefore this is common nuisance. least we forget that street begging encourages laziness. I have personally came across physically and mentally fit people, fit enough to take on a conventional job begging on the street. This upsets me to see people want to get money from people that worked hard for it the easy way. On the other hand, it is obvious that the bodies intended for the purpose of assisting those in need including the government cannot help everyone therefore it is sad that street begging might always be there and maybe essential to a certain point but as a personal view, i do not only think it should not be legalized, i think it should be abolished.
