I'm not sure what generic name they are called but the children you see begging at a traffic light stop and those who give windshields an unsolicited wash are a big security risk. I never used to hold this view until late last year. They multiply by the week it seems and I am afraid that there is this budding aggression waiting to erupt if you happen to find yourself in a vulnerable situation. Each time I look at the young females, I shudder to think of how often they are being defiled by the men around them and by those within their community -especially those they pair themselves with during the day while they beg for alms. It is heartbreaking to say the least. What can be done really? I support the movement for them to be taken off the streets and deported or taken off the streets and kept in an IDP camp of sorts. In such a time where we must be security and health conscious, it would be to their benefit as well to be migrated to a safer space.
