Eight child beggars arrested in Tripoli

Police from the northern city of Tripoli apprehended on Saturday eight child beggars, whose parents forced them to beg for money on the streets of Tripoli, due to their bad economic conditions.

After police arrested them, they contacted organizations that take care of homeless children.

However, after studying each case, they discovered that their parents had been forcing them to beg on the streets for money.

Police then contacted each of their parents, who later picked their kids up from the Tripoli police station and pledged not to make them work again.
