Nanny hired out baby for begging

This nanny was more Fagin than Mary Poppins. A young couple in Bengaluru who hired a nanny to look after their baby while they were at work discovered that she had hired out the child to be used for begging on the streets.

Anamika Joshi, an MBA graduate and a consultant with an MNC, discovered by chance that her sevenmonth-old baby boy was being hired out to beggars for Rs 100 a day. She left office early one day and found the nanny watching TV and her son missing when she got home. When Anamika questioned the nanny, she confessed that she had been giving the baby to beggars for three weeks. "What my baby was put through sends shivers down my spine. I can't imagine what would have happened if I had not returned home early that day," says Anamika.
