'Rich Mum' And 'Homeless Mum' Ask Strangers For Money To Feed Baby - The Results Are Shocking
#1
A social experiment which saw a rich mother and a homeless mother asked strangers for money to feed her baby - has revealed shocking truths about the public.
The scenario was set up by YouTube vlogger Josh Paler Lin to see if passers-by changed their perception of a woman with her baby, depending on social status.
First, Josh asked his volunteer to wear smart clothes and do her hair and make-up.
She then hit the streets, asking strangers for a couple of dollars of change to help her buy food for her baby.
Amazingly, all except one man offered the woman some money without question.
#2 The richer looking mother got cash from almost everyone in the street
But the tables were turned when the woman donned a hoody and a hat to cover her unbrushed hair.
This time around, almost every passer-by told the woman they had no change, with one man refusing to even offer a polite no, instead telling her to f*** off.
#3 The homeless woman received a very different reaction
Only one group offered the woman cash to help her baby, and they were later refunded and given a small cash sum by Josh.

At the end of the video, Josh adds the words: "Do not judge by appearances. A rich heart may be under a poor coat."
