【新唐人2011年12月8日訊】大陸兒童流浪乞討問題嚴重，在各地城市都可以見到兒童沿街乞討的畫面。而童乞現象除了家庭因素外，另一個就是拐賣。專家表示，這牽涉到中國社會治理的問題，過去三十年來，中共以計劃經濟治理社會，社會基本保障不足，導致這個問題長久存在。
幾年前中國國務院婦女兒童工作委員會曾發表報告說，大陸流浪未成年人約有100萬人。這些流浪兒童有的是被拐騙的，也有家長“指使”出來的，還有生活困難的家庭兒童，形成嚴重社會問題。最近大陸公安部打拐辦說，明年底前將消除街頭兒童乞討現象，不過民眾認為這種承諾沒有實現的客觀依據，簡直就是說大話。我們聽聽他們怎麼說：
一位北京市民說，現在中共當局弄虛作假太多了，很多政策也不管用。
北京市民：「通過這事我就覺得好多事兒都沒怎麼管，說是管，你一看電視都挺好的，你實際出去一碰啊就全都不對了。所以（童乞）這事兒很難說管得了管不了。」
一位殘疾老兵也認為，要在一年內消除童乞只能治標不治本。
殘疾老兵：「他能解決一部分地區，或者是說一部分人，一部分乞討兒童，但是不能解決所有全部，因為這裡面有一個經濟利益鏈條。」
農村有非常多的留守兒童，由於家長對他們的關注不夠，很容易離開校園，或是家庭，很多孩子長期沒有得到適當的照顧。「深圳當代社會觀察研究所」所長、南京大學文學博士劉開明表示，這些孩子都處於接受義務教育階段，如果他們不在學校受教育，家長和政府都有責任。童乞是個長期的現象，要消滅童乞並不簡單。
劉開明：「這個社會保障體系、兒童照看體系，都是非常欠缺的，所以就會導致很多兒童流浪的城市。這些流浪的孩子如果政府又沒有適當的資源來支持他們重回校園，那們肯定就不會解決這個問題。」
而童乞現象對中國社會會產生甚麼影響？
劉開明：「那麼這個影響就是，實際存在這些人他們沒有受到教育，那麼就今天是乞討，可能明天…會有其他的問題加深，乃至治安問題都會出現，這樣也表現中國社會基本保障的欠缺。」
今年2月，中國社會科學院農村問題專家於建嶸通過微博發起「隨手拍照解救行乞兒童」活動。他公開表示，打拐與禁止兒童乞討並不是一回事。他說：「杜絕一切兒童乞討，讓所有乞討兒童都回到學校，這是文明社會的一個基本常識」。

Phenomena of Children Beggars in China Highlights Social Issues
In China the phenomenon of child beggars is a serious
problem, and it can be seen on the street in every city.
The leading cause of the problem is family factors and
kidnappings.
Experts have said that this problem is related to the issue of
governance over the past three decades.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) manage the society
with so-called planned economy,
which lacks of basic social protection,
leading to the long existing problem.
A few years ago, China’s State Council Working Committee
on Women and Children reported that
1 million homeless people are minors.
Some of them are kidnapped, some are forced into begging
by their parents, and some are from poor families.
Recently the Ministry of Public Security said that
it would have the phenomenon of children begging on the street cleared up before the end of next year.
However, the public believes that
this is nothing more than big talk.
A Beijing resident said that the CCP makes many lies
and many policies don’t work.
Beijing resident: “I can tell from this issue that
with many problems there is no way to deal with them.
You take a look at the news on TV and it makes things
sound pretty good, however, once you step out of the door,
it’s completely different from what you heard.
So it’s hard to tell whether the issue of child begging
on the street can be stopped or not."
A disabled veteran also believes that to eliminate
child beggars in a year can only be palliative.
Disabled veteran: “The government can only solve it in
some regions, or some people and some child beggars,
but can not solve all of them, because there is an
economic chain of vested interests."
In rural area, there are many children who were left at home.
Due to their parents paying insufficient attention to them,
they easily leave school and family. Many of them
haven’t been taken care of for a long time.
Liu Kaiming, a literary doctor of Nanjing University,
director of Shenzhen Institute of Contemporary Observation,
said that those children are in the age of receiving the
compulsory education. If they are not in school,
then both the government and the parents didn’t take responsibility.
Children beggars is a long term phenomenon. It’s not easily solved.
Liu Kaiming: “China’s lack of a good social security system
and child-caring system has lead many children to straying in the city.
If the government has no appropriate resources to support them
to return to school, this problem can never be solved."
What impact will the phenomenon of children begging in the
streets have on Chinese society?
Liu Kaiming: “Well, the impact is that those children didn’t
receive any education. Today they are begging for food, and
maybe tomorrow…it can bring about further and deeper issues
which could threaten security. It shows there’s lack of basic protection in China."
In February, Yu Jianrong, a rural issues’ expert of China
Academy of Social Science set up an official micro-blog account for the “Photograph and Rescue of Child Beggars".
He stated publicly that combating abduction is not the same as
prohibiting child beggars.
He said: “Eliminating the phenomena of child beggars and
sending all children to school is basic common sense in any civilized society."
