CRIMINALS keep coming up with new strategies to rob innocent people of their valuables. For instance, young children have been recently seen being used to fool the people. They pretend to have lost their way, and ask the passers-by to help them reach their address which isusually written on their arm or on a piece of paper. This is just another way of luring people into dangerous situations.
While offering help to a lost child might appear the right thing to do, it is vital to be careful and mindful of the possible risks associated with it.
Criminal gangs have been using this tactic to bring people to a certain address where they can carry out their ugly business with zero risk. The `lost` child is only a tool in their criminal hands.
This may not always be the case, but it helps to be cautious. It makes sense to take any child in distress to the nearby police station or even to the roadside kiosks run by welfare organisations from where an ambulance may take the child to the relevant address.
