As the Corona 19 crisis in Indonesia has been prolonged, so-called silver men are increasingly painting their bodies with silver and begging.
A baby painted in silver is held in the arms of a woman who is also painted in silver.
It was posted on SNS on the 25th saying that the photo was taken at a gas station in Tangrang, south of Jakarta.
Netizens voiced criticism, saying, 'How can you paint silver on a baby who can't speak?'
After receiving the report, the police arrested and investigated the two adults who mobilized the baby to beg, and it turned out that the baby was 10 months old and not even their baby.
I was begging with my friend's baby, but the welfare authorities saw the baby and his mother in need of emergency assistance and took them to a shelter.
In Indonesia, both begging and giving money are banned in order to prevent the number of beggars from increasing and the exploitation of children.
However, in the past, these silver men, which appeared mainly in the capital city of Jakarta, have increased after the corona crisis and are spreading to major cities in Sumatra and Sulawesi.
