Family discovers nanny was renting child to beggars in Bangalore

Family discovers grandma was renting child to beggars for 100 rupees a day !! Such a disgraceful act !! (2009)

A family discovered that their seven month old son was being rented out to beggars by their own nanny while they were out at work. Every day, the boy's mother would lay out his clothes for the day and leave him with his nanny while she went out to work for one of Bangalore's multinational companies. Soon after they left, the child was dressed in rags, sedated with drugs, and handed over to a beggar gang which used him as a prop to generate sympathy and persuade passing motorists to part with their cash.

While the child was out the nanny relaxed on the couple's sofa, watched television soaps, and helped herself to contents of the fridge. The family discovered their baby's double life when the mother came home early one day and found the nanny watching the television with no sign of the child. The nanny confessed that she had rented out the baby to a beggar gang for 100 rupees per day and that the child had been spending his days on the streets for three weeks.

Beggars who do not have babies hire children from poor parents for involving them in begging, a thriving trade here, as people give a rupee or two to the woman begging with a child immediately.

Since the hired babies would cry continuously as they are left in the hands of strangers, the beggars administer mild sleeping dose in the form of syrup and the infants could be seen sleeping all the time even under hot sun and vehicles moving around with blaring horns.

This is done not only in India but in other countries as well. This is indeed a shame for any country and needs to be terminated outright ! Spread the news and lets make it a better place for everyone to breathe.
