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

[EluguHcman]

My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and  she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.

Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

Stole money (to a parent or family member) it's a dismal practice. I can't see any justification on this.

I will get completely upset, it's a failure for a mother such gesture and the guy MUST be corrected and understand how sad is something like this.

No, this guy will never win a "multi million bet". It's just a math stuff... if all people that are betting will hit a "multi million bet" everyone was betting and no bookmakers where still alive!
This is a BIG mistake have this "hope" maybe he can win. More over, if this guy was so smart with betting why he need to "stole money"?

Am not against my son gambling if he's up to the age of been called an adult and he must have started living on his own before he can be gambling, not staying under my roof and be competing in gambling with me whereas he's not working. That's what am against and concerned with.

I think that boy needs to be disciplined in the hard way, for him to have the effrontery to make transfer from his mum phone to his bet account then if he's not deal with in the hard way he will do worst things that this just to get money to feed his gambling thirst.

I believe we all know the response that the first question will receive but they’re still some parents out there who are going to discipline him despite the fact that he won’t the bet through the stolen money – we have heard of case before where a father asked that his son return the money he won from gambling since it was against his beliefs.

The mother and father of that child need to worry more about what their child is going to turn out to be in the future because for him to have been able to steal his mother money despite being aware that she’s not financially stable and yet squandered it on a bet – it means he will be able to do same thing outside, so there’s a possibility that outside his gambling addiction [which I believe he has] there’s a chance of him turning into a criminal if not properly handled.

If I was in the mom’s position I definitely would have been heartbroken, knowing that my son could do something like that… And I’ll also look for means to make him change even if it means I’ll have to take him to somewhere else to live.

No parent would really be happy on what his son/child has done on which it would be just that typical that you would got angry and on the time that you do get angry
then you would definitely be that applying those kind of disciplinary actions and to those disheartened acts isnt really that totally that true on which this is something that
letting our childs do really be able to realize on the wrong thing that they have done on which they are really that obliging to repay back those amounts. Yes $15 might really be that
small in most peoples eyes but if you are living in poverty and living in a country which does have that have crisis then this amount would really be that significant.

My question is how old is the child? I believe from your narration, he is still below 18 years old which is below the age bracket of gambling and this is wrong in all directions. How does he even open account in the first place and how did he sent out the money from his mother phone without her consent, there should be evidence of transfer or perhaps she neglected that. The mother should investigate him how he opened the account and what influence him to do that because I think some people really influence his child to gambling.

Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.

The parent should not scared him, I know how painful it's for a mother to see his child behaves the way you don't expect but instead of been harsh towards him, ask him nicely so he can open up because if you want to forcefully discipline him, he will hide some information out of fears and he will surely go back to that gambling. I'm sure you guys don't want to lose another brother as a gambling addict.

You guys should tell him what gambling is about, the implications and the risk because he has develop the mind of doubling money from the way he's starting, who lose $15 all to gamble. You guys should be more open and free to get all information and tell him too to avoid complications.

[cabron]

It's not an issue whether the amount is small. It's about the action of the child and of course, the parents should discipline this kid for stealing and worse gambling.
But I don't understand why she's calling someone else but maybe because of Child Protective Services. It's the same issue in my country where if you hit the child with your belt today, you could lose custody already.

would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?

She still will need to discipline the kid even if he won millions. If I were in her position, the kid would not get any amount, it's my money he used to bet.

[bitvalak]

If I were his mother, I would probably be frustrated, especially if I lost money just to gamble.
For a mother, gambling is something that is not beneficial at all. But on the other hand, a child's mistakes will always be forgiven by the mother.
The child should have realized that it was a fatal mistake. Moreover, his mother also involved many parties in wanting to give him money to gamble. And he should have realized that he would not be able to return the money easily, especially in gambling.
The way he got into gambling was wrong, how could he possibly win just to return such a large amount of money.

Well I think you already know the answer to this question, I mean it's obvious that she would ofcourse be delighted if the son came home with billions or millions of naira if the child told her the winning before telling her he stole the money but all the same the chances of the boy winning was against him and beside you don't have the right to gamble with people money because the money isn't yours even if it's from your mother, that's calling stealing.

Wel I know the society am staying will surely do something about this boy although I don't know why and what the parents are doing that it got so bad that the boy got this worse and collects money from her account.

There are two problems here, the first is how old is her son? If he is a minor and he is not allowed to gamble by law then that by itself is wrong and it is showing a dangerous tendency at such an early age, the second issue is of course the theft of that money, and while 15 dollars may not seem to be a lot for some of us, the act itself is what is worrying, also I do not see how the outcome will change anything, stealing is wrong even if the son won a massive amount of money with it, and if he was a minor then that will not matter at all as the casino will not pay him due to a violation of their TOS.

[ajiz138]

Of course it is bad behavior because the child himself dares to steal money just for betting, meaning that he is desperate in this case, maybe it can be called addiction, because it is impossible to steal if not an addict.

I will be angry because it is disrespectful, maybe I will educate again how he should do good and should not steal again because this is a bad act what if this happens to someone else not his own parents? Then he will get punishment from the authorities.

From $15 to millions of dollars is still very impossible especially if it's a child who says he is still in education so he is not in a professional gambling game.
Besides, it is possible that the child will be silent even if he wins a large amount because not all parents will be happy if their children play gambling.

[Miles2006]

The first question we should point out is how did she train the child or maybe he learnt such habit from school, church etc cause nowadays peer pressure has affected children either the positive or negative way. Such child should be discipline for his action and they should make sure he never repeat such act again. If no proper care is taken at this early stage he will start stealing outside to satisfy his desire to gamble and it will be very difficult to handle.
The child winning or not has nothing to do with the mom except she supported his action from the start but since she never supported him the winning or loss should not hinder the discipline process.

There's no way that we could tell on where that child do learn up those things its either that he hadnt been guided out well or teaches about stealing is bad or just simply making out those actions basing up on the things that they are currently dealing or get involved with. We do know that once addiction in gambling would becomes that too severe then there's no way that you couldnt
really be able to experience that kind of urge on doing something which it isnt ethical. We do know that stealing something could be considered theft and even lets say
that you are just still young then stealing would really be always stealing and there's no way that you could really be able to changed it up.
As a parent then disciplinary actions should be made so that they would be able to learnt up that the things that they have done was actually wrong. So it would really be
on your choice as a parent on what you should gonna do.

Wether the boy in question end up winning millions or not, it doesn't change the fact that what the small boy did was very bad and that could be as a result of poor care from the mother and everyone around him. For a minor to be engaged in gambling activities, it means that he's been introduced into gambling an adult and it took the carelessness of his mother and guardians not to detect him when he's never known much about gambling.

There's no way the child is gonna provide the money because he's already lost it but the more important issue now is how to try stop him from gambling more in the future in other not to end of as a gambling addict.

[famososMuertos]

I don't know why there is a belief in relating certain topics to this board

Anyway,  everyone takes care of his children as he wants, sometimes these are issues of a nature as complex as the social and family environment.

This case is the typical coinflip.

Whoever intervenes to scold and teach a child a lesson, whether it is his mother, father, older brother, uncle, or even if everyone joins in scolding the child, the child will still not be able to return the money lost due to gambling. , at that very moment. and the only hope is that this incident can be a valuable lesson for both children and their parents.

This is not only the child's fault, because he stole money from his mother's account. However, parents and families are also at fault, because they are unable to provide a good education to their children, which causes their children to become people who behave badly and are unable to respect their parents and family. So this is where the importance of early education carried out by both parents for their sons, as parents we must not judge a problem from just one point of view, but we must assess it from every aspect, including introspection towards ourselves.

However, it needs to be understood, in this case it does not mean that I support the child's actions, because it is clearly something that is wrong and cannot be justified.

The age of the child should be very important in dealing with this issue. If he is up to the age of gambling it is a stealing problem but if he is underage, the case will become more complicated.

The child shouldn't be forced to bring back the money especially if he is still depending on the parents financially except they want him to steal to repay what he has lost. What he needs is sound counseling and not threats or severe punishment. He should be told the implications of what he has done and the future consequences if he becomes addicted. He needs to know that this behavior could make him steal outside the home because he wants to satisfy his gambling urge.

Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

Let's call a spade a spade, stealing is an immoral behavior regardless of the consequences. I will be mad at him and even discipline him but will still accept the win. He needs to know that I didn't support his actions and shouldn't repeat such behavior. I will be happy that he won big but I will concentrate more on his misbehavior than the money h won. From then I will keep a close eye on him to monitor his gambling activities.

First of all it is irresponsible behavior to leave the cell phone not protected with fingerprint or any other security like face id to your phone.I know most of us who are parents tend to trust their children,sons and daughters yet I because of my profession as I work in a bank,I like to keep everything 2FA and heavily guarded even at my home.As a parent of course I would be disheartened yet I would talk with him to educate him about probability and statistics which shows that you cannot apply with such bet to be a lucky winner otherwise there would not be betting sport casinos open,they would all be closed by now if winning that huge amount would be that easy as this son thinks.

The truth is she wouldn't have been that mad at him if he had won big amount of money. Such winnings may even make the woman start giving him money to gamble for her if she cannot do it herself. I have seen it happen a couple of times. This does not mean I'm in support of what the young man did.

The first rule is that you must not gamble with what you cannot afford to lose. The money wasn't his so he cannot afford to lose it. The moment one engage in gambling with money that should not be lost, he is already 60% defeated because emotion and fear will take over, this will produce poor judgement cum poor result. I wish him well in handling the situation and hope he learns from it.

Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

if I'm not mistaken, we have this kind of thread before. Anyhow, as a parent it's instinct is to really discipline their child right? Specially we all know that stealing is generally not accepted in any society. And so the burden is really on the parents and maybe we can say that they are part of the problem if the child turns out to be a thieve and really give a parent a hard time.

But regarding the question it's a going to be a dilemma to the parent, but for me, he should be discipline by his mom, period, if he accepts that winning money, it's like giving him permission to gamble and that it is allowed in the household. Maybe right now they have money, but what if the kid gamble it all along and in worst case scenario, losses everything and started to stole money again? If not from his mom, he could do it to other people and the consequences will be very bad for the boy and his mom.
