About 1.5 million youngsters are currently living on the nation’s streets, according to figures from the National Working Committee on Children and Women under the State Council.
The gangs that control the youngsters have little regard for their welfare and regularly force them to work in extreme weather conditions, tie them up to prevent them from escaping, beat and even disable them, a report on the MPS’ website said.
Begging is not a crime in China, but organizing children to do so is, under both the criminal law and the Law on Public Security Administration Punishments.
A teacher surnamed Yang told the Global Times today that she had firsthand experience of dealing with children who had been forced into begging.
