Different opinions in Congress or at meetings of the United Nations may keep the cartoonist well-supplied with current materials.

　　Vagrant children are particularly prominent(突出)in the city．Some residents said they often see young boys and girls kneeling under flyovers, many with schoolbags on their backs, or asking money from car drivers when they stop at traffic lights．Metro station manager at the People's Square, surnamed Fei, said that at least a dozen homeless children a week were caught begging on the subway．

　　According to an officer surnamed Qiu at the People's Square police station, if a homeless child is found alone, they will confirm his or her identity first, and try to get in touch with the legal guardians．If children cannot give details of their background, blood samples will be taken and the information in a DNA database will be used to help trace their families．

　　The national database, set up in April 2009, had reunited more than 1, 400 children with their parents by September．Qiu said the city's new policy on child beggars should be the most effective yet．"We could only persuade them to stop begging before, but now we can repatriate(遣返)the child with this policy, " he said．

　　Zhang Baoyan, founder of Baobeihuijia(Baby Back Home), a volunteer group that helps search for missing children nationwide and offers support to their parents, said the campaign shows that the government is determined to put an end to children begging．But she wonders how to prevent the children becoming homeless again．"Many homeless children keep reappearing not long after leaving welfare homes, because begging has become their livelihood, " she said．

　　The central authority began a campaign to help homeless children in December．It requires the local government in the original home communities of vagrant children to increase social security and economic support to prevent children from turning to begging．"So the campaign addresses both the symptoms and root causes．We hope child begging will disappear when the rich-poor divide is gradually narrowed, " said Zhou Zheng, chairman of the social assistance center in Shanghai．
