It can be part of larger organized crime, but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s exclusively begging. And organized doesn’t necessarily mean there’s some big boss who runs the show and makes a lot of money - just that it’s planned intricately and has a lot of people.
The groups I see in my area are definitely organized. Like 10 different faces throughout the week working in small groups with the same 5 signs with random pictures of kids working on 2 (sometimes 3 depending on the weather) intersections.
