Children ask travelers for money near Havana's Terminal 3
A video shows several children at night at José Martí airport; the person making the complaint says they reacted with hostility toward people who refused to give them money.
Several children described as being between nine and 11 years old appear asking travelers for money near Terminal 3 of José Martí International Airport in Havana. The nighttime scene was recorded in a video shared on Facebook. Descriptions place the children alongside people moving through the terminal area in an episode presented as a request for money from passengers.
The video shows travelers, vehicles and uniformed people around the airport terminal. According to the description of the images, the children approach people passing through and ask them for money. The recording places the scene outside the facility and connects it with Terminal 3. The sequence shows the children amid the ordinary movement of people and vehicles in that space.
Bautense Ferever, identified as the author of a complaint about the case, said the interaction was not limited to asking for help. According to his account, some children demanded money and responded with insults and hostile expressions when travelers refused. That characterization belongs to Ferever's complaint, which described an aggressive reaction toward people who did not provide cash.
The episode contains two elements visible in the images: several children beside travelers and requests for money at an airport at night. At least five children were reported, with estimated ages from nine to 11. The material also shows vehicles and uniformed people nearby, although that does not allow the latter to be identified as police officers.
Ferever's complaint adds that some passengers' refusal could lead to insults and hostile treatment. His account distinguishes that conduct from a request for help and maintains that the children insisted on obtaining money. The video, meanwhile, shows several children among travelers near Terminal 3. Both the request and the response described by the complainant form part of the circulated episode.
