Apparently, this is nothing new in India.
Still pretty abhorrent

We saw Slumdog Millionaire this weekend. There were times when I had to cover my eyes or I would have been ill. It was a powerful film. I wouldn't be surprised to see it win Best Movie at the AA’s.

No good deed goes unpunished.
If you give a poor starving street child money, then there will always be a ready supply of miserable visibly starving children for you to give money to, even if they have to produce the misery and the starvation themselves.
If you give a poor mutilated street child money, then there will always be a ready supply of mutilated miserable street children for you to give money to, even if they have to produce the misery and the mutilation themselves.
So, please, when visiting a third world hell hole, grow a brain, you are not giving money to alleviate the misery, only to PERPETUATE the misery.

Nothing new here folks. This has been going on for centuries and families, not mafia gangs, do this to their own children.
It is an industry with whole families going begging. It is, is essence, a profession over there.

A friend who spent a couple of years in Romania told me that this is done there as well, except it’s the parents who break their children’s legs and arms. This gains sympathy from tourists, who give more money to these crippled kids.
