Don't be fooled by the wide-eyed, dirty urchins you see roaming about begging alms whether by hawking towels or handing out envelopes or by holding out their hands and saying, "Give me money." These children can be wild animals.

(The kids begging for alms went inside the jeep. There were about 12 to 15 of them in the group. Suddenly there was a commotion in the jeep. The kids were able to steal from the passengers and one mother, who was with her child, was also affected).
“I first noticed those kids hanging out under a tree, there were about 12 to 15 of them,” said Bagatcholon. “When the stoplight hit and the cars slowed down, the group went inside the jeep, I believe they were asking for alms [because] my cousin said they handed out a box.”
Bagatcholon shared that the kids got rowdy after a few seconds and the passengers inside the jeepney started shouting. Bagatcholon then said that one of the kids, a girl with cropped hair, got off the jeepney and started hitting the woman with a child. The kid, too, started banging on the jeepney’s sides.
As per Bagatcholon, the kids “stole junk food and a piece of clothing from the passengers.”
Bagatcholon also said that there weren’t any law enforcers around the area to quell the ruckus.
He said, “Everyone was in their cars. There was a bus though, but no one ever tried to stop them. Not even the jeepney driver went down to reprimand them, he just looked back at the commotion.”
It's doubtful these kids know they are fully protected by the law and will never be held accountable for any crime they commit.
SEC. 6. Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility. – A child fifteen (15) years of age or under at the time of the commission of the offense shall be exempt from criminal liability. However, the child shall be subjected to an intervention program pursuant to Section 20 of this Act.
What kind of intervention program will these kids be subjected to:
Watch as these kids pull an old man out of the jeepney and try to steal his bag.
Notice how that man is left all on his own? None of the other passengers offer any help nor does the driver get out and fight off the children. Passers-by keep passing by. Absolutely no assistance of any kind was offered to this old man.
In the Philippines you are all on your own.
If you ever see a group of street children it's best to pick up a stick and be prepared to fight to the death. Or just get out of their way and avoid them altogether.
