A young man, who hired a fake mother to go begging with him, has been transferred to Chaoyang police for further investigation, reported the Beijing Youth Daily Sunday.
City management officers from Jiuxian Bridge squad, Chaoyang district, found a man begging on Fangyuan Xilu and crying about his tragic life. He claimed his father was missing, and his mother had liver cancer.
However, the man abandoned his "mother" and ran when the officers approached them. The "mother" stopped him and asked for 30 yuan ($4.8) "service fee" the man had promised her when hiring her in the morning.
