Poverty

I saw a little boy today who was dirty and shoeless and poor.  He came with an open hand to beg for money or food.  I had a peso in my palm to pass to his but a security guard scared him away before I could.  As I walked away, I thought, what if I'd put one of those button cameras on him that they use in all those tv shows.  What images would they record and what things has this little 3 year old boy seen in his short life? And would it record a little boy loved because he was there all alone.  It was a truly humbling moment.
