13. Several years ago in Denver,
a woman discovered that her new babysitter was using her children to panhandle, someone who knew the family asked the mother why her children were near an exit ramp with a woman and other children(kids were little and couldn't tell mom themselves). Turned out the babysitter spent a few hours a day with her own kids (and those she was being paid to care for) panhandling.

Children don't exist as a devise to make profits for adults.
