The children begging for money at major intersections expose themselves to enormous risk of injury. Giving money to these children reinforces the begging industry. If you want to help the children, find a project that supports education, or that can provide an alternative income for their parents.

Child sex offenders are increasingly traveling to developing countries to abuse children and evade detection. If you have any concerns about a child in Indonesia, or if you have suspicions about any person you think may pose a risk, please report it.

Orphanages have become a tourist attraction in Asia. But for a child this can be disruptive. Many of the children do have families.

In actual fact those same orphanages often sustain poor living conditions and little food in order to lure money from the tourists.

Do not feed the cycle keep your eyes open orphanages are not zoos
