A pregnant woman who was begging people for money at a San Diego shopping center with her young son drove off in a Mercedes-Benz, according to one customer who recently captured the incident on camera.
Melissa Smith told CNN affiliate KGTV that the pregnant panhandler was at the center every weekend holding a sign asking for help.
“I felt bad, there’s a pregnant lady with a little boy and is down on her luck,” Smith said.
She added that plenty of people have stopped to help the woman.
“Lots of people give them money,” Smith told the San Diego television station.
Smith was recently getting gas when she saw the woman, her husband and son get into a Mercedes-Benz.
“I thought wow – a Mercedes-Benz?” she said.
Smith got into her car and ended up behind the family.
“And here they are counting money, laughing, their little boy is not in a car seat or seat belt. He’s all the way in the front seat with them,” she said.
Smith followed them as they drove to another nearby plaza and proceeded to take out the sign again.
“She sits there with the sign. He goes and parks the Mercedes. And they put up the sign and not less than five minutes, here she is getting money from all these people,” Smith said.
At that point, she took out a camera and started photographing the woman and her son.
But when the pregnant woman saw her, Smith told KGTV she picked up a big boulder and started coming toward her. Someone who witnessed the incident called 911.
At that point, “She grabs her little boy and takes off through the middle of the parking lot,” Smith said.
By the time police arrived at the scene, they had left.
Smith said she wanted to let people know about the couple before they found a new place to panhandle with their son.
“Don’t give these people money, they don’t need it, they’re driving a Benz,” she told the station.

I think they buried the lead...But when the pregnant woman saw her, Smith told KGTV she picked up a big boulder and started coming toward her. Someone who witnessed the incident called 911.

i do feel bad for some of them but a lot of them r just hustlin.. if i posted up in a major city and asked literally everybody i seen for money- a dollar here, a quarter there- i guarantee i cld make at least 10 bills an hr. thats better than minimum wage and should b enough to at least get u back on your feet if ur really strugglin -
I'd like to see the regulars who bash Black women enter this thread.

I'll often give panhandlers spare change or whatever I have immediately available in my pocket.
What they do with it after I'm out of sight is up to them my only hope is that I can use the little change that I've been blessed with to be a blessing to someone else's life if they really need it. -

This woman did NOTHING wrong.
If you're stupid enough to give money to some stranger on the street, that's YOUR problem. -

That's why you give no one money, whether they need it or not.

FACTS:
Companies lie about how their product will make people look thinner, sexier, or better in general and it turns out to be false.
Soda companies lie about their products being Diet when really they aren't. They just didnt mention that sugar comes from another ingredient but is still dangerous to the body.
Plenty of Charities ask for your money when they already have plenty. And it turns out only 10 cent of your dollar goes to actually helping anybody. But they still call themselves "non-profits"
Many video game makers have gotten caught saying their game was true 1080p when it wasnt.
Basically people lie to get your money all the time. She aint doing nothing big business doesn't do. BUt none of them get arrested. She should go to jail when they do.
