Child Rights International Executive Director Mr. Bright Appiah urged the public to stop giving money to street children.
According to him, it is criminal to give money to street children, saying that the laws will deal with people who are caught in this regard.
He noted that some parents consider begging on the streets to be lucrative and therefore intentionally send their children there to beg for money.
Mr. Appiah was speaking on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie, while discussing “Ghana’s Social Protection System in Perspective”, hosted by Ekourba Gyasi Simpremu.
“It is a criminal offense if you give money to street children. When you are caught, the law will take care of you. What we need to look at is the welfare of those who, due to their situation, cannot locate their families, the state should but for foreigners begging in the streets, the law should take care of from them as well as from those who take their children to the streets to beg purely at the criminal level, ”he said.
Mr. Appiah urged all those who want to give money to street children to send it to social welfare or homes so that all vulnerable children benefit.
“I will never encourage anyone to give money to street children. If you have money to give, give it to the social protection system to help vulnerable children, ”he said.
