A Nepalese baby left on the streets as “chum” for her begging parents (note the cup with money). I watched this baby, from across the street, for two hours. She was unattended the entire time. No parents to be seen. People just walked by the baby, a few putting money in the container. But the baby was well-dressed, with some food and water next to its side. I have seen babies used this way, as chum, on many occasions, without any parental thought to their risk of life. It is so prevalent, what can one person do in this giant world? Can you save them all? Poverty is a sad thing.
