As you have probably figured out by now, I don't have much of a maternal instinct. You might as well also know that the "starving African waif" story has very little power to tug at my heartstrings (probably because they are made of well-cured rawhide). And last but not least, I am not inclined to be soft on crime.
All that being said, these are my kind of starving African waifs turned thieves:
Dozens of street children have invaded a five-star hotel food tent and feasted on meals meant for sale at the World Social Forum in Kenya's capital.The hungry urchins were joined by other participants who complained that the food was too expensive at the annual anti-capitalist get together.
(.....)
The children, who had been begging for food, launched the raid after being told they would have to pay for the food.
(Bolds mine.) What else is there to say? Except that they certainly showed the organizers of this event what being "anti-capitalist" actually means.
(Via Digital Brownshirt, further via Ace of Spades.)

Five star hotel. Expensive meals. Anti-capitalism get-together. Hungry children billed for meals.
Sorry, was all this really from the same one story? You must have mixed up several, right? These can't all be the same people.

Incidentally, it's fine you have a diminished maternal instinct. Because between Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi the federal government is going to have enough to take care of every child (and adult) in the world ten times over.
In fact, I expect shortly the feddle gubmint is going to confiscate every child in America on the grounds that their own parents don't love them as much as Congress does. I think California is going to lead the way - a state legislator has announced that she is going to introduce a bill making it a felony to spank a child.
Well, hell, why stop with locking up a parent? Shoot the heartless SOB right on front of the child! That'll fix things, plus you have a permanent client for state provided counseling afterwards!
(Full disclosure: I do not live in CA, nor have I ever (to my knowledge) spawned)

You can't shoot them. Guns are Teh Evil! You have to throw them off a cliff so the whales can eat them. (It's better for the environment that way too.)

What a great way to tell the whales we´re sorry. Even if they don´t eat people, our bodies will eventually turn into plankton. It must be nice to be plankton. Like floating in space. Then you pass through a whale´s digestive system. Then float again.
