Director of Social Affairs in Makkah Ali Al-Hanaki said most of the children selling chewing gum or tissues are in fact beggars in disguise.

He said a special committee was formed to check such cases and added that families of beggar children would be deported.

Director of the anti-begging office in Jeddah, Saad Al-Shahrani, said 98 percent of all beggars were foreigners.

Director of the office of the Commission to Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice Sheikh Ahmed Al-Ghamdi said any parents who allow their children to go out in the streets for selling or begging at this age cannot be true Muslims.
