What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble?

[coinerer]

If we were talking about a stranger stealing that money from her I would agree with you, because we must do what we can to protect our money, however it was her own son who did this, meaning that a person she trusted, broke that trust by stealing from her own mother, and while the amount was small, what can be more low than stealing from your own mother? So I would not blame her at all for this situation as it is clear that it is the son that is at fault here.

My vision is different. The only one to blame here are those who raised and educated that kid. If he was taught properly about what crime is and how to get money at his age, I think he would not acted like that. Not saying that kid is completely innocent, but there were reasons why he did this. It is not like he learned how to steal himself. Someone showed, told, explained, or lack of explanation what is good or bad had lead to such outcome as stealing from family.

Many children steal money from their parents, and here it is not the parents' upbringing, but their social circle. I believe that most likely someone pushed him to this deed, and he by virtue of his naivety only followed the advice. The child in any case is guilty of taking someone else's money without asking and if you do not punish him immediately it may turn into more serious consequences in the future. If the parents are to blame, they are only to blame for not controlling the child's social circle, which in principle is quite difficult to do before the emergence of such situations, as well as for not noticing the theft in time and not stopping the child before he spent the money.

Stealing is a bad crime and gambling is a bad addiction, so when a child steals their parents' money and uses it for gambling, it is very difficult for their parents to accept this fact. Because every parent loves their child very much and they are ready to give anything as long as it is required.  But even from this if children steal money and use it in bad places like gambling. In that case no one will accept it easily. And to prevent them, every parent has to be vigilant and take a lot of care of the children so that the children never dare to show these activities.

But parents cant control that kid 24/7. They cant forbit him to make friends with that kids, and be friends only with that kids, because they are better. From my point of view parents should give some basics of education and correct kids "development" in right direction. But not be 24/7 guards who control every step that kid makes. If they did that, the kid will grow up in a person who can not take his own decision. In this situation I see that parents did not give enough information, proof, evidence, were not convincing enough in describing what is good or bad. Even if someone pushed that kid to get money for gambling, he should have chosen other method.

Yes, it doesn't have to be strict because their privacy will definitely be disturbed. The point is to give an example of what is good and what is bad for children. Sometimes we can't blame the parents or the children who are at fault in their social relationships. Sometimes we as parents have teaching good and correct things, it turns out that out there our children are actually behaving badly, such as gambling with their friends, stealing or other things, but we can't blame either one of them because as parents it is also important to regulate who they hang out with.

Every parent will definitely feel like they have failed if their child steals just because they want to gamble or do something they should do as a child. As a parent, you are obliged to show an attitude that your child can emulate, sometimes as a parent who likes to gamble, you can't control it. When he gambles, he is not even embarrassed to gamble in front of his children, which will certainly set an example for them indirectly. As a parent who is self-aware that gambling is a habit, he should know how to arrange gambling time at night, precisely when the children are asleep. , don't let it be too late to advise and teach our children.

Something is really wrong, and it goes beyond stricter oversight. Parents invest their lives in their children. After so much love and sacrifice, a kid steals and gambles. A fundamental problem exists in that link

Being strict or lenient is irrelevant. Real, honest communication is needed. Do we have harsh conversations with kids? About money, choices, personal challenges? Not everything can be sugarcoated. We must talk about repercussions and dispel gambling's myths. Kids don't understand that it's deliberate risk, not innocent enjoyment

This is about human connection, not simply behavior change. Why is this youngster gambling? There may be grief, confusion, and emptiness to fill. We must show kids a better approach to handle life's obstacles. It starts with talking, being honest, showing we understand, and showing them the way

Parenting is never been easy and not really something that could give out that completely guidance and would really be that followed accordingly. Even if we do say that we are educating them on the right
ways and paths on how living a life on the most decent or best way as it should but still there would really be those childrens who are really that making out their decision on their own will.
Us parents doesnt really like for our children to experience those paths or ways on which it is really something hard or something that cant be easily deal off with.
If ever your children commit out that stealing because of gambling, then no parents would really be happy in regarding into this situation but rather it would really be on the opposite.

Both will be a bad behavior if a child do that, especially if he steals their parents money. If their parents strictly teach them not steals other people's money, their parents will punished their children so they will not doing that again. But many people can't accept this fact because they thinks that they already teach everything to their children and they can't believe if their children steals the money.

Parents must telling their children not doing that again and talks to them closely so they can knows what their children reason. Their children will not do that again if their parents can prevents them not doing bad things again. It needs awareness from their children by listening their parents suggestion so they will not doing something that can gives them bad experience.

Then we would better stop on a conclusion that both, parent and kid are guilty and failed. It is not only kid that needs to be punished, he is not the only one to think about what he did. Parents should get cautions about their parenting either. Something went wrong in their "being a parent coordinate system". If my kid steal from me, first things I would think about are why he need money for and why he has chosen such path, instead of asking or earning for example.
