To the OP, the whole set up you described sound like a scam. There are groups that work Walmarts with kids and women who pose as their family for a cut of whatever they take in that day. It usually a woman with one or two children under 5 years old and a guy who approaches people, never the woman or the kids. Get to know their faces and I will bet you dollars to doughnuts you see them at another mall or store on different days. Or you will see the same guy but with a different family.
I never give money, i have offered to buy people food and have always been turned down. One guy actually asked if I would mind getting him a beer.
