“The Act makes provision neither for the punishment of those who encourage ^beggary, nor for the repatriation of those who are non-State ^beggars. Further, it gives no special consideration to the child beggar. The purpose of the Act evidently is prevention and not treatment (Full text, 2014).”
India made an act in 1940 and wasn’t published until 1945 about begging, but it states nothing about children who are beggars or to whom use children to beg.

An Afghan woman who’s been begging from 12 years shares that she, “…takes one or two of the younger children (of her own kids) with me every day…before we leave the house I feed them with a half a bean of opium” (UPWW.US 2014)
Why drug the baby
Picture a homeless mother, whose last resort is to beg and must keep her baby with her because she can’t afford a babysitter. You’d think begging in the noisy streets and subways with many smells and people would irritate the baby and cause it to cry and writhe in the arms of it’s mother, restless after hours and hours. This would take a toll on the mother’s energy as she tirelessly attempts to soothe the baby while also trying to make money to survive. However, a sleeping baby would be perfect. No muss no fuss. So by sedating the baby with an illegal substance must be the only answer, right?
Intended Effects that Lead to Serious Damage to Health and are Often fatal

About thirty years ago there was a young girl in love with her boyfriend. One day, he convinced her to take their relationship to the next level, telling her how deeply he cared. A couple weeks later, she found out that she had become pregnant, and decided it was best to hide it from him. They kept in close contact over the next few months, and he told her that they would be together forever. When her father realized that she was having a baby without marriage, he made her leave the house until she came back with a husband. When the baby girl was born, she decided to tell the boyfriend about the child, by bringing her to his house. He lived on a small farm right outside town and you had to pass over a small river on a bridge to get back to his house. As she opened the door, she walked in on him with another girl. Filled with anger, (pause) she gets in her car and speeds off. Now she could not return home unmarried and had lost her only love because of this one child. As she looked over at the baby, she is only reminded of her boyfriend and the image of him with the other girl. (tone increases) Finally, she reached the bridge, then slammed on the breaks. She got out and in a moment of rage threw the baby over the bridge to rid her of the baby girl’s troubles. Later that night, the police were tipped off about a murder at the bridge and came to find the girl hanging from the bridge.
Anthony Bradley’s article “Prosecuting drug-addicted pregnant women” states that an “unborn child is not a person, a drug using or addicted pregnant woman cannot be legally charged with child endangerment. Denying the personhood of an unborn baby has been the most effective way of protecting these women from prosecution.” Pregnant women should not be prosecuted if they are using drugs because the child is not legally a person. However I feel that I have to set myself away from my morals for a bit and look at the legal stand that we take on the fetus. Mr. Bradley even speaks on what will happen if the baby is separated from the mother if she is placed in jail. Bradley states that “it hasn’t been proven that putting women in jail and separating them from their children is necessarily better than other options such as government-funded, mandatory drug rehabilitation.” Bradley concludes this article by letting us
Birth is a normal, physiological process, in which a woman’s body naturally prepares to expel the fetus within. It has occurred since the beginning of time. Unfortunately, childbirth has gradually evolved into what it is today - a highly managed whirlwind of unwarranted interventions. Jennifer Block, a journalist with over twelve years experience, has devoted herself to raising awareness regarding the authenticity of the Americanized standard of care in obstetrics, while guiding others to discover the truth behind the medical approach to birth in this country. In her book, Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care, Jennifer Block brings forth startling truths concerning this country’s management of birth.
People in society strive to find happiness in ones self, others and their community. What factors are there to obtain ultimate happiness in one’s life? What ethical decisions does one have to overcome to obtain this supreme happiness that every individual endeavours? The citizens of Omelas have a difficult time achieving the goal of making the right ethical decision. In exchange for their ultimate happiness and success, is one child’s misery. In order to live their “perfect” lives the citizens of Omelas must accept the suffering of the child. To make the right ethical decision is difficult, but necessary to end the injustice of the society. Failing to overcome the ethical issues in the city of Omelas is displayed through three different characters in the story. There are those who choose to ignore the situation, those who observe the child in misery, and those who feel that they must walk away. In the story “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” characters fail to overcome the ethical issues in their society, and the reader is taught the importance of moral responsibility and the implications of the difficult task to make the right ethical decision.

Infanticide is a way to alter the reproductive stream before the child has the status of a real person, which is culturally defined (source). The deaths of weak, illegitimate, excess, deformed and unwanted infants are not defined as murder when the infants have not yet been born into the social world. Infanticide occurs cross-culturally for a multitude of causes. The reasons for infanticide can be summed up into three categories: biological (including the health of the child and twin stigmas), economical (relation to other children, women's workload, and available resources) and cultural (preferred gender, illegitimate children). This essay will examine cross-culturally the biological, economic and cultural factors for infanticide.
Early efforts to address child welfare were made when Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Children’s Aid Society established lodging houses and industrial schools, to care for neglected, orphaned and abandoned children and provide these children with shelter and moral education. However many of the children were not actually orphaned or being neglected they were simply poor (Warren, 1998).
Their hearts sank as they watched the child they had come to know and love as their own, be taken away by strangers that they had never met until today. As the CPS worker spoke with Mary she explained, “If you had just logged in her injuries acquired during the accident and told us what medicines you had used, this would not have happened.” Mary thought to herself “it was just a scrape… just a tiny little cut…” Many parents all over the world have gone through hardships like this one. If they even got to adopt at all. Many of the rules, regulations and prices agencies have come up with have been causing people all over the world to deter from adopting.
Every day, 370,000 babies are born into this world- each having the potential to live a prosperous and productive life. Unfortunately, some of these tiny, fragile humans do not live until their first birthday. The death of infants within the first year of life is known as infant mortality. There are many contributing factors as to why infant mortality may be high or low in a specific area. In order to measure the amount of deaths that occur in a particular region, the number of newborns that die before the age of one year old per 1,000 live births are recorded and is known as the infant mortality rate in that society. Generally, the infant mortality rate of a country directly reflects on the health-care system provided. Unfortunately, in today’s world, a child dies every four seconds.
...actually take the fetus out of the mother’s womb with surgical scissors and a suction device is placed through the opening of the brain so the head can collapse. The Supreme Court case in 2003 of Stenberg v Carhart in Nebraska did not allow partial-birth abortions and ruled that it was unconstitutional. Since then laws such as The Partial Birth Control Abortion Ban Act became in effect on 2003 by George W. Bush and it prohibited this horrendous act except in rare cases where it would be absolutely necessary to save the mother’s life. After that in 2007 in the Supreme Court case of Gonzales v Carhart, upheld the federal ban on partial-birth abortion and reversed the Stenberg v Carhart ruling. Gonzales created the precedent that anyone who “delivers and kills a living fetus could be subject to legal consequences”, unless it was done to save the life of the mother ().

might ask “why could this happen to one of societies youth?” Then again, how did this happen to an innocent child?
Another tragic and very important issue ate the " Crack Babies". A crack baby is a child born to a mother who was smoking crack during her pregnancy and up until the time of birth. The infant is addicted at birth, suffers withdrawal agonies, and continues to suffer from developmental abnormalities. These tragedies occur at too high a rate no matter how many there are… The 1991 Household Survey data estimated that about 280,000 women of all ages might have used crack at some time during the year.
