Snatching at Transit Stations

My daughter Martha was a victim of snatchers at the MRT ortigas station last night. Her necklace was forcibly grabbed and pulled away from her by kids hanging around the stations as beggars. The three boys were around 10 to 12 year old. They approached as-though begging and one quickly snatched the neck piece away. Martha was stunned, called for help from a security guard. The guard ran after the boys but they quickly ran down from the stairs and were gone. It was a good thing the chain broke easily or else my daughter would have been hurt more.
There were police around but they did not even run after the boys. They just logged down the snatching incident and put it in blotter. Later they approached my daughters (martha and marion) when they were about to ride the train home and asked them what do other people say?
WHAT DO THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY?! AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE COMMUTERS FROM CRIMINAL ELEMENTS!!!
Even the train stations are no longer safe anymore. Why do they allow kids begging inside. According to the female security guard, an elderly woman was also snatched of her cellphone by the same group of kids. The guard accordingly tried to patrol the area but the kids would run away each time they see her. HEY WHAT ARE THE POLICE DOING INSIDE?!
People, be careful of criminal modus operandi in train stations. Keep safe everybody.
Pray, may the Lord protect us from all harm and evil people.
