Would you stop if you saw this little girl on the street? | UNICEF

“They were all telling me to go away.” Anano, 6, is a child actor. But the situation she’s in is very real. Every day, millions of children living in poverty are ignored, pushed aside and deprived of everything they need to thrive.
It doesn’t need to be this way. Our 2016 State of the World’s Children Report is a call to action for the world to treat its least fortunate children the way it treats its luckier children: uni.cf/sowc16 #foreverychild #FightUnfair

ew, how can you just ignore a little bit poorer looking girl, but not a more wealthy looking girl ?! like, whats the difference, they're both children

[@FriendOfMara]

@jersey devil When she looked wealthy she was a stranger too. They still treated her well. The reason she was treated poorly was bc she looked homeless which is frankly illogical.

[@FriendOfMara]

​@jersey devil So what? One, the privileged do just as much harm, they commit tax fraud, oppress people, etc. This is coming from someone who would be considered privileged and has seen first hand the crimes of the rich. Secondly, the reason why less privileged people are more likely to commit crimes like petty theft is because they don't have enough to live on. It is the wealthy who have put the poor in the position they are in. Thus, it is the responsibility of the wealthy to fix systematic problems and not blame the symptoms of these problems on the poor. The people who ignored the girl when she looked dirty are more worried about losing a couple of dollars than about the fact that there is a child who is potentially in danger. All they had to do was offer help, and maybe keep their wits about them incase she tried something. But they could have AT LEAST tried to help. Instead, they care more about themselves than about the people that struggle on a daily basis bc of the system they support. Plus, even if you want to take a cynical perspective, a person who looks wealthy has just as much ability to cause harm as a person who looks poor or homeless. A person in a suit can still rob you or assault you. In fact, they do so on a daily basis when they make millions of dollars and spend it on pointless luxuries instead of aiding those in need. The misconception of less privileged people being "dangerous" is just that, a misconception. All people have equal potential to cause harm but that doesn't mean we should let innocents suffer. I could debate this all day, but I am busy and my hands hurt from typing so this is all I'm gonna say for now.

[@devanshi2667]

Yeah I would have just ignored her both of the times 😂

[@FriendOfMara]

@jersey devil I mean all I am saying is that that feeling is dumb. I personally just feel sad when I see people in need. I also feel angry and guilty. But that doesn't mean that I have a reason to ignore them and so I don't. My friends and I used to go into the grocery store and buy oranges to hand out to people we saw asking for money on the street. You can just do little things like that or even just saying hello. Idk man, sorry if I came off as aggressive, I don't mean to be, I am just passionate about this :)

[@FriendOfMara]

@jersey devil Fair enough. I am 18 so im probably still young and idealistic and all that. I agree that it can be weird to approach someone, and so it depends on the situation whether or not someone will feel comfortable approaching someone on the street bc of that. I have social anxiety so believe me when I say I understand. However, in this specific case, it is a 6 year old girl. I think it should be simple to just approach and politely ask if she needs help. Where I live I have never seen a little kid who was homeless (I don't go out much anyway), but I am confident that if I were to see a kid like that, my desire to help would outweigh the awkwardness of approaching a stranger. After all, a little awkwardness is worth it if you can help someone.

If you think that way, if you are disgusted is because you have way more privilege that a lot of people out there including me, if you had money just enough to eat that week, and get robbed by a child that “was lost” and starve all week, wouldn’t think the same, in my country children are used along with pregnant women and old people to rob, sometimes you can even get killed, a child will come to you and tell you he’s lost, will take you to where he last saw his mother and there will be other people, they will kill you to rob you, that’s the kind of situation a lot of countries have to live, a pregnant women will act like she’s having an abortion and distract you and others will rob you, a person will lay on the ground of a street and when the person in the car gets out will be killed to rob him the car, that’s life for a lot of us, of course that makes us think more than twice before helping, because we don’t have enough ourselves to just get robbed or killed, I wouldn’t risk to get robbed and see the money my mum worked until she was exhausted to get, go, if I had more money I would try to help more, because if I lose money I wouldn’t care, but unfortunately I do care, and a lot because that’s my economic situation, I only can afford help stray animals because if I buy a bread and feed them they’ll thank me with their tails and they wouldn’t betray me, but children do betray, I know that’s how adults raised them, and it does break my heart to see children on the street, my country is full of corruption, I hate how things are, I hate to see people on the streets, I hate to see children working, or disabled people begging for help, but I can’t do nothing to change it, and I can’t risk my own sacrifices, my mum’s sacrifices, or even my life to “try to help”, sometimes people have to be selfish, if you’re wasting money to pay internet instead of helping homeless children then you’re choosing you’re own well being over others, and that doesn’t make you a horrible person, people have the right to want happiness, and if that means trying to not get robbed then you can’t not judge them.

it's so sad to see a little girl being ignored because of her appearance. All children deserve to be noticed by people. Showing love and kindness to others is what brings people together.

I just dont understand why others are hate the ppl who didnt help. Usually thesse kids are sent out to steal, adult send them cuz they looks cuter ect and there is a bigger chance that they get something. i think ill be offended but its the truth, in my country amd i think not only here if u give money to a hemeless/poor person they spend it on alcohol, if u give them food against money they will put it into the trash or want something better.

[@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735]

But to see in another perspective, you know we are not seeing the full picture. Small details which can cause huge changes, example being: what time is the experiment taking place? Is it a weekend or public holiday? Are the behaviours of both situations the same? Since the experiment wanted to check on clothes only that's the only factor that is variable to reduce inaccuracy. Plus, its only 1 of each situation, so it's really difficult to determine from a research perspective.

Excuse me why are you so against to video guys? Maybe, it reminded you how mean you are? This video is a good experiment because it shows how politics turn us into monsters. These people who eat in the restaurant didn't have to say go away, they could ask first what do you want or try to give a food. Even they are poor or criminal they are children first and no child must be treated in this way! Once you were a child too, do you remember?

[@hinatachan96]

yeah, except I didn't spit on people or stole their stuff.

[@thitran1362]

thats why actual nice "beggars" are rare these days. With all the gangs forcing these kids to beg and give the money to them

[@hinatachan96]

MH 10001 that's not the main problem, heck that's not even a problem. The problem is that these kids don't want to change themselves. And we can't force them too. Legally, their parents decide what to do with them, until it's decided otherwise (like their parental rights are taken away or something). The kids that are on the streets are highly unlikely to ever recover from their state. What you are saying about social skills and schools is very true but that is more apliable to very poor children that do have houses"" and their parents do make an effort The children on the streets, while not being directly at fault for their situation, cause they are children, know what it is about. They simply don't care and won't care. For one, you can't forcefully take them out of the streets, as I mentioned before. To give them food? Yeah, sure, but that doesn't mean I should be comfortable with a potential thief inside a store where I payed to stay. Let's assume for a moment it was a dirty adult hobo that entered? Would you sit them at the table too? No, of course not. And hobo adult know this and train their children to go inside because they know people are going to be more emotionally inclined to help the child and disregard the potentially vile intentions.

[@life_goes_onlove191]

there is no right to swap your problems that might influence your opinion on children around the world. Second this idea to rob doesn't come from the children themselves it is made by their parents or grown-up people around her. So you shouldn't treat the children wrong. They are innocent. They are forced to do this. To solve these problems we have to make a change. In helping families in finances and support cities countries to come over poverty or to solve criminal issues. In every way, we need to help. @matiashernanlauriti you are right partly but there are several ways to change this so it doesn't have to be a steady opinion.

It is very sad to see all these people in the restaurant ignoring a small child, of course they all had to help, had / have money to buy some food, or even a small glass of water, but instead simply looked, away their bags and pretended that the child did not exist, only one person cared, and that one person asked to withdraw the child, honestly where is the humanity of humans? Does anyone could call a protective organ for children or simply ask if she was all right? The same goes for the scenes on the street, if you see a child in the street ALONE you HAVE TO HELP !!! Does the appearance counts a lot as well? You just help who wears clean clothes? And for all the other people who say they have no money to give or some food to someone who has nothing to eat, I do not believe you. Some of you say they have families to care for and feed, but as will be WHO HAS NO FAMILY ?? The world will not get better if you do not at least make an effort so that it is Think about it, and next time, help those who need it, REGARDLESS of who is.
