What is wrong with those people who believe in superstitions?

A very large number of people strongly believe in the bad luck that comes after breaking a mirror, encountering a black cat, choosing the numbers or pointing a finger at the rainbow.

Some people believe that passing below a ladder can bring bad luck, others believe that four leaved clovers can bring
good luck while a third group believe that carrying a rabbit's foot can bring good luck.

The Prophet Muhammad clarified that there was no concept of ill omens in Islam and that belief in ill omens would lead individuals to polytheism (shirk). He stated that the cry of a bird or the way it flew could not be interpreted as ill omens, and he advised that unusual objects and events be interpreted in a positive way. He also mentioned that casting spells or carrying amulets would harm the belief in tawhid (the Unity of God).
Kinda of handed question for you assuming that you didn't come up with name because of an idol, can you explain why there are or were so many orphans beginning around the period after world war one but still continued what was the family really missing and pushed wards of the union.
