Beggars or Trafficked Persons?

[7andkelly]

I have a strong suspicion most if not all those begging for donations outside Comerica Park, Ford Field and other downtown Detroit locations, many of them wheelchair bound, are not just destitute, but that they are trafficked persons.

I shudder to think what else they are made to do for money.

You often see the same ones in their regular spots at Copa, but also outside JLA / Cobo Center for their events.

It is obvious many would need handlers to get them there and back, so if they're not being trafficked for the money, at the very least they're being abused by their care providers. Seriously, if you're going to bring someone all the way down to the game, at least buy them a damn ticket once in awhile so they could enjoy it.
