Even though the image above is clearly not from the west African country of Senegal, it does address the global program of children begging and the clear ethical line it crosses in much of the developing world.
According to the BBC today, seven Koranic school teachers in Senegal have been condemned to jail if they continue to force children to beg in the streets. Those who were found guilty will serve up to six months in jails if the practice continues.
Up to 50,000 children have been exploited according to Human Rights Watch, which says the Senegalese government needs to continue trying to resolve the problems.
