[NEWS] Gambler Charged with Murder after Letting Kids Die

[rahmad2nd]

The heartbreaking tragedy, careless act and negligence of the mother quoted in the article cannot be justified. cases like this are very rare, usually cases of similar negligence occur in a shopping or supermarket when the mother leaves her child in the car to shop or buy something.

Unfortunately, this case is linked to a casino which in fact adds to the long list of bad stigmas from gambling, despite the fact that this case is purely the carelessness and negligence of the mother. to be honest this is a rare case, but this case can be a lesson for all parents out there or in our community so that things like that don't happen.

The heartbreaking tragedy, careless act and negligence of the mother quoted in the article cannot be justified. cases like this are very rare, usually cases of similar negligence occur in a shopping or supermarket when the mother leaves her child in the car to shop or buy something.

Still the same though, this is criminal negligence, manslaughter case against the mother.

Unfortunately, this case is linked to a casino which in fact adds to the long list of bad stigmas from gambling, despite the fact that this case is purely the carelessness and negligence of the mother. to be honest this is a rare case, but this case can be a lesson for all parents out there or in our community so that things like that don't happen.

You can look it that way, or it's that the mother can't control of herself because of her addiction. So I don't think this is a rare case though, gambling addiction when it hits someone can do things that not a normal person will do, like stealing and hiding it from their families and in worst cases, like this one.

I wonder if there are parents who have experienced something like this...

Unfortunately, there are a lot of irresponsible parents. Becoming a parent is huge responsibility that has come upon ones shoulder, and it is not something someone should hurry into knowing that they are not yet ready for the responsibility that the name brings. For this purpose, "child protective service" was set up to combat such cases of irresponsible parenting so the children do not suffer from the irresponsibility of their parents. If this irresponsible parenting that has lead to the death of this children was noticed and reported on time, because it definitely did not just start that day, the kids would not have died. Unfortunately, no amount of court case will bring the dead kids back to life, it is now a lesson for all who come across the story to learn from.

Awhile ago there was a story that made headlines about a korean couple who played video games and neglected their baby who unfortunately died.

A Korean Couple Let a Baby Die While They Played a Video Game

Real nurturing, however, was something Sarang's parents knew nothing about. The mother only went to a doctor once before delivery and then returned to gaming almost immediately, though they claimed later it was for financial reasons. (Skilled players can barter their virtual money for real dough in what's known as "Gold Farming.") "They were unaware what they'd been doing, had no information about raising children," says Salmon.

"The saddest thing about the story is that they weren't bad parents," says Veatch; "they just applied the parenting skills they learned from raising this Anima to raising this baby: feed it, game for ten hours, come back, feed it.... And the baby lacked the interface to communicate with them what it needs; it didn't have display buttons on it that said, more this! They didn't know how to read the needs of their baby because they could only read an online environment."

In the wake on Sarang's death and the parents' trial (the father served a year, the mother's sentence was suspended) Korea came to face its internet gaming problem. Laws were passed meant to keep minors offline, or at least out of the gaming parlors, from midnight to six a.m. But far more intriguing than the legal possibilities raised by the case is the research Veatch did into one of Korea's ancient cultures: shamanist religion.

That story was used to push new video game addiction laws in korea.

It is possible for parents to leave children unattended in ways that are unintentionally fatal.

But the story about parents leaving children unattended in hot cars has circulated for so many consecutive years. I think it deserves its own category for neglect.

This is very sad news, a mother is willing to leave her child in the car while she plays gambling for hours there, maybe she is so addicted that she is so free when she plays but she forgets her child to death, this incident I just heard now.

I will never neglect my family, especially children, I play gambling when I have free time and it is not accompanied when I play with my children. Of course I have to have time with my family and children to play because I don't want this to happen.

That is how gambling should be, I too just gamble when I have free time, I have free time during weekends, I bet mostly on football, which is a perfect time for me. I am an online gambler than visiting a casino. Visiting a casino could be different, there is more pleasure derived from visiting casino, just like going to bar to have some fun. But regardless of what we would call it, it is her carelessness that led to her children's death.

Her carelessness led to his children'd death, but it may not be willingly like you said, there have been many that have happened in the past that a mother or a father would forget totally that her or his child or children are inside the car. We must be careful, watchful, be vigilant and be a good parent. If the women is innocent, she would also now be in pain, like her life is taken from her already. That is why I just hate this kind of thing to occur, but it do occur. This has been the first I have heard of, that is related to gambling.

We must be wise in spending time between family and the gambling games we want, weekends are the right time but with online gambling in my opinion it will not ignore being negligent and we can still control our children's surroundings compared to playing at a live casino especially when there is a bar, of course they will enjoy themselves and forget everything that makes them careless.

But it's our vigilance never to ignore anything soccer gambling may be left out so I prefer this more than anything even though sometimes playing casino slots but that's not often, now I know as a parent I have to be able to distinguish between time with children,

I hope it be a lesson for all gamblers to be responsible gamblers, very sad to read a news about children which lost their lives due to parental negligence. Parents should take care of their children and not leave them just to play gambling, we must have more time for family, the pleasure of gambling can also be at other times and in other places for example playing online gambling etc.

[virasisog]

This is heartbreaking. I could imagine the struggle of those kids while trying to survive their lives. We can't deny the fact that there are lives taken because of recklessness due to gambling obsession. This is insane to leave your kids like that just to satisfy your urge to gamble but gambling addicts could really do that. This must serve as a lesson to everyone. We should let gambling lead our lives because if we'll allow it to control us, we might have even our loved ones hurt.

[Mauser]

That's crazy, how can you leave your kids in the car and go gambling? There is no way that I could concentrate knowing I left my kids alone. There is no excuse, I hope she gets a really long prison sentence. I can already hear her excuses about why she had to gamble and maybe even claiming gambling addiction to try and get away with it. But this has nothing to do with gambling. There are stories about people leaving their kids and pets in the car when going grocery shopping. Most of the time the firefighters are called to break open the car, but there still stories where children die in the parking lot of a supermarket. Maybe the parking lot of the casino needs more CCTV, so the security team would see if there are any children.

[harizen]

This does happened not just in gambling-related cases. Lots of incidents already were there are kids, and even pets, leave inside a car in an open parking space with engine off. Can't imagine the feeling of being in a hot temperature for several hours. Even in a mild weather, it's still hot inside an engine off car when a you stayed for several hours.

The bottom line, I don't understand why there are people who left those kids alone inside the vehicle. Heat stroke is waving to them. But there are reports that some cases wasn't intentional and maybe that person is experiencing stress and related behavioral issues.

A careless mother’s casino time resulted in her children’s death. The neglectful parent had left her kids in a hot car to place a few punts at a local casino without considering the consequences.

This is the saddest news I read today. I knew this case isn't possible when in online gambling but this is possible for other unfortunate circumstances too especially at home or somewhere else when you're doing your online gambling activity.

This should be a lesson to take to all parents out there that family is priority first before anything else especially children.

I wonder if there are parents who have experienced something like this or someone knew that has the same case, not with the one with a dead case though but something accident happened because of neglect parenting.

So are we looking for something to blame instead of the mother? If she did drugs, it would have been the fault of drugs. If she drank alcohol then it would have been alcohols fault. But in this one certain case its the fault of her casino gambling time? Sorry no, that does not check out. The truth is she was a horrible mother. She would have been a horrible mother if she went to the DMV and left her kids in a hot car or if she went to the mall and left her kids in the car. The reason does not matter. She did what she did and she should have known better. Gambling did not rot her brains and common sense away, did it?

I really hope she goes to jail for the rest of her miserable life and never has/cares for children ever again.

This is a very sad incident, I have never heard of such incident before but I was shocked to hear it . How can a mother leave her child alone in a hot car and go gambling . This means he prioritized gambling more than his children. Which is shameful for a woman nation .  This woman deserves the harshest punishment.  And every parent should learn something from this incident .

If i would ask simple question concerning those kids, was the car put off or On and if On were the air condition put On or if off were glasses roll up. How long were they left to stay inside the car?

A few pages back, the OP mentioned the AC was likely off and the news link also has the title "hot car" so the AC is most likely off.

Here's a part of the news that would answer your other question and I don't understand why did she leave her kids in the car around that time knowing it'd be blazing hot outside.

According to the employee, Battle played for six hours straight on the day of her kids’ death. The worker claims that the woman arrived at 1:30 pm and would regularly go in and out until she eventually left at 7:30 pm.

Anyway it is an unfortunate thing to happen to a family. I wonder what could make a parent forget that the child was left behind. This is an act of gross negligence IMO. I can't say what caused the death since the child was left in the car depending on the hours of suffocation if the AC was off, or perhaps the child was asthmatic? but I heard of children left in the car and the parent was excused to get some stuff sharply but a failed truck crashed the car.

[bitzizzix]

Actually the case of leaving a child in the car with the car turned off has happened several times with different stories, even to the point of causing death and this is a sad case and also the stupidity of parents.
The OP's case is more sad because a mother left her child in the car to gamble but I don't understand if this case was intentional or not, and if it was intentional with the reason of not wanting to be disturbed while playing it is more than stupid.
And intentionally or unintentionally the act must be punished because of the negligence of the parents until the child dies, and the punishment will provide a deterrent effect for the parents or other people so as not to leave the child in a locked car.
and this case can also improve casinos or other places to give new rules to the parking lot to check every new car parked by the parking guard or security.

Very sad news, I've seen this type of news but on a video and in a supermarket. The parent has left his child inside the car while doing groceries and I don't understand why it has happened. Did they just have amnesia and forget that they've got a companion inside the car?
This is going to be remembered by that mother forever and due to her negligence and craving to gamble, her kid died. She can gamble at any time she wants but the life of her kid is gone forever.

Those people are crazy on which they do really tend to leave out their kids without any companion which we know that they are really prone to hazard.How much more if they do leave out
on a car for a long period of time? They are just too irresponsible and its really just right that they should really be in prison because of what they have done.
Gambling addiction could really go into that certain extent where you cant really think off things properly specially if the addiction is really on that high extent
but we know that whats done is done and you cant turn back your childrens life and would be a forever guilt you would have inside.

What a horrific end for these poor children, I don't know what on earth their mother could have been thinking. It just goes to show that a gambling addiction can be extremely dangerous, but it is likely she also had many other underlying mental conditions which must have contributed to this as well. There is a shred of sympathy for her as a single mother, it can be extremely hard raising kids but she was clearly lost in the way she was handling her problems. Unfortunately she must now pay in terms of a jail sentence and will have many years to consider the two lives she ended. I do wonder if the casino could have done better, like patrols in the car park but they could still have been easily missed..

[ChiBitCTy]

Dear god, this is exactly why I hate the human race, and I’m being honest about that. The high majority of people are uneducated and selfish, and this just points that out to an extreme. I hope that she spends every single second of the rest of her life in solitude in a max prison. She doesn’t deserve any freedom for the rest of her scumbag life. Sickening.

[dothebeats]

That mother should be put behind bars forever. Imagine prioritizing your gambling habits instead of your kids? She can just leave the kids to her family or just hire a babysitter to do her own activities. Skimping on her kids and letting them suffer inside a hot car while playing in the casino? This is just next level addiction. I'd say put the mother inside a car in a scorching hot day with all the windows closed, and no AC available.

To all degenerate bitcointalk members here who has a family, especially kids, don't ever think of doing this to your children or even your pets. This is just cruel and too much of a torture to them just to satisfy your gambling itch.

I agree, completely disgusting how that woman's addiction turned out killing someone completely innocent under her care.
Getting one's child locked up in their room itself very cruel but letting them inside a car during a summer day to gamble is baffling, if I ever come across a  fainting pet or a child inside someone else's car in a hot parking lot I would probably break the window and get it out that hell, just out of anger.
