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

[KiaKia]

It depends on his age and what type of a son he is, some child need scolding while some needs to be sat down and talk to, so it depends on which type of a father you are, as every parents have different ways of handling their children.

If he is up to the age it's better to have some discussion with him, maybe he will listen, if you discipline him in another manner he will probably start fearing you and start hiding things from you, better start with talking to him and make him realize the dangers that awaits every gamblers.

Educate them, teach them what you know about gambling and make sure they get used to risking very small amount of money, and the last part is to always keep an eye on such child, know the type of friends they keep, because it's possible that they get to start gambling through the friends they are keeping.

In the event that I am the mom, and this is the first time my son took money from me to use in gambling, I would control my emotions and not yell at him. I would not show him that I am furious, and I would simply tell him stealing is awful regardless of whether to use it in gambling or not.

Afterward, I will move toward his father and discuss what occurred in private. His father deserves to know the incident and will likewise clear it up for our child of his awful actions. Men are more engaged with gambling than women so his dad should be the one to make the final conversation and give advice.

[demonica]

It depends on the situation. If this scenario happened when he's still young and still a minor, I'll definitely blame myself for not being able to look after my child. Stealing is already bad, and to use it for gambling will make it worse. If my child learned or discovered gambling because of me, realization will hit me how bad I am as a parent. But if he's already an adult, I will only scold him for stealing because he already knows what is right or wrong, yet still do it for gambling.

But regardless of the situation, wrong is wrong so lecturing your child what he did wrong and making him understand why is it wrong and he shouldn't do it in the first place is what I'll be doing as a parent.

It depends on his age and what type of a son he is, some child need scolding while some needs to be sat down and talk to, so it depends on which type of a father you are, as every parents have different ways of handling their children.

It depends on some other facts as well like where are you, how is your society, and many more. Gambling is a common thing in some societies where almost every adult gamble and they do not forbid their grown-up children to gamble. If you talk about my society, he did two offenses at the same time. Stealing is bad regardless of where are you from. But, some parents tolerate it when their kids gamble.

If you talk about my society, gambling, and stealing, both are forbidden and punishable offenses. Gambling is not allowed at all. Let's say I didn't tell my son anything about gambling, but if he gets caught gambling, he will be punished I won't be able to help him. so, it is my responsbility to guide him no matter how.

Totally depends on the parenting since not all would really be that open and not all would really be recommending their children on dealing up with gambling yet we do know that it wont really be able to give out that kind of advantage but rather it would really be that resulting into possible addiction. Just like on the example that once your child did really come into a point that they are already that stealing just to gamble, then this is a solid indication or sign that they are already that addicted to it. They would really be able to do those things which they havent done before. They wont really be able to realize those things when the damage has been done is already that severe.

As a parent then no one would really be happy if your children would really be ending up on stealing on you just because they do love or really that playing on gambling.Of course
you would really be having that kind of disciplinary action. This isnt something that good to be done and should really be stopped and controlled as much as possible.
This is where your parenting rights and authority would be shown.

Environment influence people too well, young age are the ones who can be influenced by there environment and home, if the parents are not watchful of their child the child will one day keep them in a bad mood.
Parents makes sure to put eyes on your children,some parents doesn't because they don't care, ore they have money to take care of cases, but makeing sure your kids are disciplined is very importan, now a child has withdraw miney from his parents account to gamble, there's no proper discipline there.

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?

It makes no difference what the outcome of that game is; parents should not encourage or tolerate stolen money from their children, regardless of what the child used the money for or what he stands to gain in return if he used it for something else. He will be punished because this is an extremely bad example that, if tolerated today, could lead to something even worse tomorrow. When you're happy because he won a million, it means he won some. When he runs out of money to play another game, he'll look for a way to steal from you again, hoping to win another million, and that’s how the process will continue.

I agree with that. It's not about the money or the money being wasted or used on something useless, it's all about how the money has been taken. If your child is stealing money and then making good use of that money or earning more money with it, that doesn't make his first act forgivable because stealing is not a good habit for a child and if they aren't schooled or punished for it in their childhood, they can do bigger and worse things when they grow up.

So, when a child steals money or anything, they should be punished and schooled for it so that they don't repeat the same thing again, and this should be done regardless of the outcome of what they used the money for, whether they've a million dollars or a billion dollars from gambling using that money, the money was stolen and that's an issue.

Of course, the environment has a very big influence in changing human behavior and nature and when a minor child chooses the wrong association and environment, it is clear that in the end changes in behavior and nature in a negative direction are very likely to occur which in turn can have a bad impact on his family, as we know that it is not uncommon for people to commit several out-of-control actions such as stealing, robbing, judging others, committing violence and other crimes, all because of the very significant influence of the environment and association.

This is very likely to happen to a child when his parents do not give full attention and do not limit the activities that a child does, however it is the duty of parents to take care and guide their children to stay on the right path and give full attention along with limiting the activities of a child is one of the good actions to prevent them from entering the wrong association which can certainly make a child a criminal or a gambler.

[bangjoe]

If I were a parent, I would definitely scold my child for stealing money to gamble. This is far from the principle that when someone gambles, they must be able to earn money from work. This is what is worried about if a small child learns about gambling, he Not yet able to earn money but having the courage to play gambling, of course it will have a bad impact or give rise to bad traits in children, such as stealing money to be able to gamble.

Therefore, as a parent, you also have to pay attention to your children often so that they don't get into the wrong company or even if you as a parent like to gamble, don't ever gamble in front of your children, because they will follow what you do and the effects will spread if your children are already familiar with gambling, if there are parents who think it is a normal thing so I think such parents do not have a plan for their child's future.

[livingfree]

Let us not think about the possibility of winning millions just because some kid out there tried to gamble. Let's stick to the reality that it's not going to happen to any kid out there. Although I have seen some rare situations like this and IIRC, it was also posted here.

But then, stick to the reality.

Those parents that have been working hard for them to give their children good future and then they'll find out that they've been stealing them money to gamble is really frustrated on their end.

I won't question any type of disciplinary actions that they're going to do since it is their money and their kid to teach.

The main action we need to take if we find behavior like this is to reprimand it and give punishment as parents should educate their children in their own way, if left alone and there is no action at all, incidents like this will continue to happen again.  Even though some people think that gambling is not a negative thing, if you find a child's behavior like this, it shows that his behavior shows two negative behaviors, namely stealing and gambling.

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?

My response as a parent is that I am very angry and very disappointed with children who steal their parents' money just to gamble, even if my child wins a big bet I will not care about his winnings. Because in my opinion something like this is a very bad action for their future lives. If we let this happen to our children, in the future they will definitely continue to do it, so we as parents must be really firm in giving warnings and lessons for their behavior. That way, incidents like this will not happen again to our children in the future.

[Hirose UK]

In the event that I am the mom, and this is the first time my son took money from me to use in gambling, I would control my emotions and not yell at him. I would not show him that I am furious, and I would simply tell him stealing is awful regardless of whether to use it in gambling or not.

Every child has their own attitude and not all of them will be easy to manage and give subtle directions to, some children need strong, measurable warning in educating them and that is normal.
When you as parent educate your child harshly and firmly enough, it is not an important problem, indeed, not to show excessive anger and resort to violence that affects his psychology.
This is much more acceptable than simply pampering child with tenderness.

Afterward, I will move toward his father and discuss what occurred in private. His father deserves to know the incident and will likewise clear it up for our child of his awful actions. Men are more engaged with gambling than women so his dad should be the one to make the final conversation and give advice.

Well, in this situation, I sure that father will also do what I said above because character building and giving strict direction is the attitude of father towards his child.
Stealing is very bad behavior and this will become habit if it continues, so father job is to provide education and learning that will really make the child feel tired or afraid to repeat it.
Occasionally acting harshly towards children when they make fatal mistakes is common thing to do.

As parents, we will be disappointed to know that children steal their parents' money. We should educate them well and not to steal or do other bad things. That's why we really have to educate children well and instill the understanding that stealing or taking something that doesn't belong to them is wrong. We can also punish children so they are deterred and won't do it again, but don't let it hurt them physically. But we have to be careful in punishing them because the punishment is only so that they know it was wrong and will not do it again. It is indeed difficult to educate children, but we must continue to try to make them able to differentiate between right and wrong, especially if the stolen money is used for gambling. That was a mistake.

[Odohu]

First, it is not my wish that my son will steal money to gamble, it will not tell good of me as a father. The reason I do most of the things I do is for my heirs to have a soft landing in the issues of life so there will be no need for my son to steal.

If peradventure it happens, as it is in the power of man to propose while God disposes, then I will do my best to caution him and make him undertake serious psychological rehabilitation to avoid a repeat of such ugly act. If he is within the age to be beaten, he will receive the proportionate beating and if he has passed that age, appropriate measures will be taken.

This is why it has become necessary for us to protect our children from things that can make them for bad habits. We must endeavor to keep our gambling a secret because children are not supposed to be exposes to gambling.

It also depends on how you are training your child in the first place. It's not every situation that requires you to sat down a child to have a discussion with them. Some cases such as stealing deserves severe discipline especially when it's done just to gamble. There are cases that a parent can sit a child down to discuss it lightly with them but not cases that involve stealing, be it at home or outside. Stealing in any form should not be condone and sitting a child down to talk calmly is not the best way to handle that type of case. I think the freedom we are giving children nowadays is getting too much and it needs to be checked.

No one will stop you from gambling as long as you are using your own money to gamble. You don't inconvenient others by stealing their money to gamble and still wants to be treated with maturity. I feel for the poor mother for what the child has put her through. She will just have to be patient because asking the child to refund the money in any means will make things worse but an unforgettable discipline will be recommended.

The main action we need to take if we find behavior like this is to reprimand it and give punishment as parents should educate their children in their own way, if left alone and there is no action at all, incidents like this will continue to happen again.  Even though some people think that gambling is not a negative thing, if you find a child's behavior like this, it shows that his behavior shows two negative behaviors, namely stealing and gambling.

carrying out 2 behaviors that are beyond the limits of a minor seems to be behavior that should be punished to provide physical education for the child.
there's nothing wrong with scolding and punishing our children in slightly harsh way, such as not giving them permission to hold a phone and being locked up in their room and not given daily money.
In this way, our children will definitely feel that it a very severe punishment and we as parents will be more comfortable giving punishment like that rather than physical punishment which can disturb our children mental health.
maybe if the child just tries to gamble maybe we will find it a little easier to provide educational lessons about the dangers gambling but making an attempt to steal can have an impact on the habit of stealing if you don't have money and if you dont give a punishment, a child definitely feels that he not given a punishment such as allowing him to steal.

but we still have to monitor our children behavior, even though they have promised not to repeat the same actions, but as parents we must still be responsible for preventing our children from gambling as long as they can't earn their own money, its better to always supervise them and not if necessary allowed to hold a phone.

Not at all because even how well you do such parenting but still there are really things on this world that cant really be inevitably avoided specially now into this era on which technology could also give out that kind of
cons when it comes on exposure into those things which arent that good and we know that our kids are really that prone into those things. This is why no matter how you do monitor your child, there would be always those path and things on which it would really be causing up such bypass that as you as a parent would be able to missed out. THis is why it would really be better that making up some explaination and educating
them about certain things on continuous manner would really be always that recommended.

On the time that your son stole money to gamble? Then as a parent then it would really be just that right that you should really be giving him a disciplinary action.
Nowadays, making some explaination to your son or kid wont really be just that enough.

[Woodie]

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.

Hold on did you just say from the mobile transfer account???
This clearly shows access was given to the son by the Mother and she is responsible for whatever happens here and shouldn't be complaining of this lost 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.

It's unfortunate it happened this way, but sorry I still blame the mum for all this despite her going round trying to get an intervention which won't happen...and you know what it's difficult to stop a young man from gambling when they just started unless a replacement hobby is found like a job or gaming....

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

Mum playing the blame game but unfortunately she has everything to do with the sons gambling as she funds him which is where the solution is...stop giving him money on a silver platter.

[Asuspawer09]

If the son actually won for sure the parents wouldn't really be so mad, probably still mad but not to the point where they need to punish him, they might probably just do a sermon in order for their child to realize that what he do is not good. That is probably what I would do as well if I were the parents, depending on how much he took, if he takes a huge amount of money like thousands of dollars he's probably going to be kicked out of the house for sure, but if it was just he's first for sure a warning would be enough, since they are still a child they probably not aware of it .

I mean to be honest when I was just a child I stole money from my parents as well so that I have money to use to play computer games at a computer shop after school it actually got worst since I stole money as well for buying items on the game, it was an FPS game and I bought some ecoin on the game to buy good items, that was actually the worst thing that I do because it was money from our small business so when someone bought something I took a small amount on it. My parents found out of the course and got mad at me, I mean I already had it in my for a long time that I dont want to steal money anymore that doesnt really work it was only stopped when I found out how to make money on myself when I do some work as well as finding out about cryptocurrency that is when I stop doing it.
