Sad but heartwarming pictures have been captured of a young kid who was seen hawking banana after returning from school and looking visibly tired.

The photos were taken by one @shukuemekar who had seen the child and decided to give him a place to rest for a while before continuing with his job.

According to @shukuemekar, it was wrong for the child's parents to send him to hawk after returning from school with so much tiredness.

Why are you pressing my 'distin' - Ghanaian model refuses to continue photoshoot

@DannyWalta explained that:

I’m not sure why it is wrong tho. It’s the family’s reality. You can either help them or not. I’m glad his parents even put him in school which shows they’re concerned.
They have probably asked for help, begged to work but no one helped. What will you have them do?

@Blessin54789309 also pointed out that

Plsss theres nothing wrong in this...that might be deir own source of income or would u rather d child starve or worst more leave school
Life isn't rosey for everyone man.

@StepheniaOmeh's opinion was that:

This is what happens in a country where everyone marry simply because his or her age mates are getting married. No Plan!
I am getting sick and tired of repeated mistakes of our people!!!
These behaviors put children in danger of sexual assault, kidnapping, and PTSD.
SAD!!

The footage that was sighted by YEN.com.gh on the verified Twitter handle of Ameyaw Debrah saw folks trying to convince the lady to return to no avail.

They explained that such was the nature of the job, but according to her, the gentleman she was supposed to pose with had supposedly touched her chest area, and so, she was not going to continue the shoot with him.
