Ensenada begging children ready to run
I observed this after a Rosarito-Ensenada bike ride years ago. While waiting for a ride after the event closed down, I saw a short Indian woman with about 12 kids settle down next to a wall on an empty street. Over time, about 30 more kids came and squatted down next to her. If any tourist walked on any street in view, she would snap her fingers at a child, who would then run over and try to sell chicle gum to the tourist. After about an hour, she herded the kids away. It seemed like a surprisingly well oiled operation, with kids who all looked younger than twelve.— January 24, 2019 8:22 a.m.
