my aunt and uncle are missionaries in china, they've been doing it for almost 10 years. the stories they tell will bring you to tears, literally.
they told me about people that would kidnap small children, break their legs or somehow cripple them. they'd get these children to think they belong to the kidnappers, and they'd put them to work. what kind of work? begging. they'd drop a child off at busy areas at corners in the morning with an empty cup or something. people passing by will give them money here and there, then at the end of the day, the kidnappers pick the kids up and collect.
same thing happens in thailand and probably throughout asia.
