Is she using her child to get help?

Along the corners of the streets where I pass daily, most of the time I notice a woman standing at one corner under the shade of the ornamental plants grown at the side of restaurant building. She will then knock on windows of private vehicles on stop when light turns red. Back in September, I thought the woman was pregnant because of her bulging stomach. I never noticed her for the past weeks but when she appeared again, there she is carrying a baby while doing the same thing as before. I learned that they are informally settling on the vacant lot nearby. They created tent as shelter which is not noticeable to the passersby because of the thick plants growing and covering the area. Their situation is a sad face of reality and I hope that they will be given an opportunity where they can make a living and a proper shelter. I also hope that they will realize that begging on the streets are not the only solution to survive if they want to. I pity for the baby. And take note, there was another kid with her the other day and a man. It could be one of her children and the man would be her partner.
