Yes. I don't donate to charities or ngos. I give money directly to folks who ask for some help. Not 85% admin fees. No advocacy, no outreach, no "we must raise awareness". Much more efficient. At most venmo or whatever is scraping a few percent.
I'm in the us and i've never seen minors panhandling, so i can't speak to that. I've only ever seen adults.
