Train
journeys always offer us unique and different experiences each day. Sights of
children who are beggars, sellers and even thieves are a heartbreaking and
thoughtful thing at the same time. This is not just a sensitive issue but a
serious problem that require public attention.
In a situation where
child abduction, abuse and exploration are increasing day by day, the local
government should give proper care to such cases. These children who are
wandering for money through different means in and around the railway stations
are often homeless and no one really knows and not even care to know their
whereabouts.
It is not sure whether they
get proper food and accommodation and it should also be noted that who all are benefited
by the money these poor children acquire. In a country where child labour is
strictly prohibited and basic education is a fundamental right, it is such a shame
that thousands and lakhs of children are being exploited. There is a high
possibility that certain long chains of mafias are acting behind this. The
bruises and red cane marks on the body of these little ones as well their thin
body with protruded belly state their miserable and poor condition. The
society must open their eyes towards them. They need our care and protection.
