That way, most parents lose track of their children and, deceived, send them to faraway places where the <em>marabout<\/em> forces them to mendicity and, in several certified cases,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">does not take good care of them<\/span>. On top of that, many physical punishments towards the little ones have been observed by different associations such as <em>Human Rights Watch<\/em>, and some of these child-abusers are being taken to court.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, social awareness and criticism is raising amongst the Senegalese population, who is starting to see the dark side of this modern misuse of very respectful ancient practices.<\/p>\n<p>This is also part of the everyday life here in Saint Louis (Senegal), one of the most beautiful towns of the country, but with around 15,000 <em>talib\u00e9s<\/em> begging for money or food on the streets.
