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

[Blitzboy]

But I myself would consider that what happens to child in the future depends on the parents, we cannot blame the parents but on the other hand, the responsibility of parents is to guide their children to the right path.

I would instead blame parents. Because it is their fault, that they raised that kid in a way, that he has used stealing to solve his money problem. Not ask money from parents, not tried to earn them or borrow. But to commit a crime. Of course the fault is not 100% lays in parents. People who surround him also play role. But a kid and what he does is 100% parents responsibility.

Even if there are a number of careless parents out there, the majority try to do a good job at it despite having to work or more jobs, so I will disagree as I have always thought that it is up to each person to decide and create the life they want for themselves, and this process begins when people are still kids, the kid had to decide whether to steal that money or not, and since most parents will teach their kids that stealing is wrong, then the responsibility of ignoring that advice falls completely on the kid, and they should be the ones to shoulder the consequences as well.

Agree, since we are in a generation where most of the youth today are rude and have no manners, most of all kids  have no fear for those who are older than them especially their parents, I do not agree with the statement that the parents should blame, because there are parents who always give advice and teach good manners to their children but you will be surprised because the children themselves disobey all the instructions of the parents, they themselves do what will harm them and the children themselves are the ones who decide what they will do, take note that parents are not focused on their children 24/7 because others need to work so that they can raise their children properly, but there are some young people who no matter how good their parents are the opposite of children's behavior.

Putting the blame on parents or kids doesnt help. Now, I hear you. Some kids today really need to work on their manners. I see you parents who work so hard to raise your kids right, and its not fair. But kids arent toys. Parents arent always able to keep their kids in line. Because thats how people work, some kids do go in the wrong direction.

Parents have to bring home the food, so they cant keep a close eye on their kids all the time. Thats where we need a real plan. Values need to be taught so they stay with the child even when parents arent around. Also, remember that life is a risk. Kids need to learn how to take chances and think about the pros and cons. Not only should you follow the rules without question, but you should also use your best sense. That sometimes means making a smart move. Its that kind of smart risk-taking that we should teach.

Parenting is really that crucial i would say but its true that not all the blame should really be put into the parents or something that do talks about questioning on which we know that due to
hard work and would really be able to skip out those kind of responsibilities on which we are really that guilty with that but due on having those aims on giving them a good life in terms of
providing their needs then you cant really put up all the blame. It is really just that there are really those kids who are really that going into the wrong path and wont really be able to think
about the sacrifice of their parents and this is why they do really end up with these wrong doings. Although not all would really be that lost on such path on which
there are even kids who do able to handle and make out right decisions.

But kids arent toys. Parents arent always able to keep their kids in line. Because thats how people work, some kids do go in the wrong direction.

Both parents and kids need to understand that loss in gambling can't be recovered no matter if both of them blame each other. Kids, especially those who are in their teenage do not care for their parents' money and they argue or misbehave if the parents ask them to keep refrain from gambling.

Parents have to bring home the food, so they cant keep a close eye on their kids all the time. Thats where we need a real plan. Values need to be taught so they stay with the child even when parents arent around. Also, remember that life is a risk. Kids need to learn how to take chances and think about the pros and cons.

It is the right that parents keep an eye on their children and if they find them involved in bad habits, they should be strict to them and force them to stop those things and one of the bad habits is gambling at under age. It will not only result in the loss of money for the parents but also affect the kid's studies.

If the son steals money for gambling, the parents should not be lenient with him and should give him a severe punishment, so he never thinks of stealing the money again. Ignoring such things will develop bad habits in children.

[Issa56]

If I where the woman, since the deed has already been done, and is obvious that the son have lost the bet, trying to get him refund the money will only lead to more crisis for both the boy and the entire family because he may be pressured to provide the money by all means and by that be forced into stealing from others to be able to pay back and in the process ended up in a bigger mess.

You are right, the OP said the boy lost the money to gambling, how will the boy be able to refund the money? The boy isn’t working yet, so if you can force the boy to refund the money, then he will definitely go outside and steal just to be able to refund the money, and if the boy get caught outside, it’s going to cause more problem, and it’s going to bring shame to the family. The best thing is just to warn the boy to stop gambling, tell him the necessary things which the boy is suppose to know about gambling, and tell him never to repeat what he just did. I think that’s the only thing the mother can do, she shouldn’t force the boy to refund the money.

I don't know what could have triggered the boy to act in that way, but most times, such behavior could be a reflection of something that could have generated from the parent, may be there have not been proper training for the boy and he may have been left to fend for himself all the while to have thought of gambling means he have been independent all the while.

Most of this bad characters are learn by children from school, and social media, since most of them have access to mobile phone, they can easily take their phone and gamble without even parents knowing about it. Some of them will even clear their browsing history, they won’t leave any traces that will make you even think they are gambling, you won’t blame parents always.

Death penalty, no mercy!

But joking aside here, I think that a lot of things must have been going wrong beforehand. I think in a healthy relationship between father and son, it would be quite a rare occasion that a son steals money and then uses it to gamble. Wonder if it is about stealing money from a physical wallet or taking it from a credit card or otherwise, but in the end it doesn't matter.

I'd think that if father and son get along well, what would the issue be to ask the dad for some cash to have fun doing some gambling? It's not the best activity, but if there is trust between the two, I'd rather want my son to ask.

I think parents can't be completely blamed, because external education also affects them, if they get good education from their parents then that's for sure, but external interactions can affect them too, with them not having a sense of manners I think because Their social circle is wrong, but it cannot be hidden that naughty gambling will definitely exist in every country, region or city. And with children who don't want to obey their parents' directions, maybe they have their own perception, such as a lack of love and attention from their parents, so they prefer things outside.

That's true, of course parents won't be able to supervise their children all day long, because of course they have their own activities to do, such as work or other things. Also in my opinion, when parents don't have time to supervise their children, this is where they will determine what kind of social relations they will have, if they have the wrong social relations then acts of theft may occur. If I had a child who stole my money and spent it gambling, I would be angry because it was the wrong action, unfortunately I am not married and obviously don't have any biological children of my own. However, when I see other children or other people who are still underage gambling, I will advise them, even though it doesn't make the gambling stop immediately, but at least I have taken action to ensure that nothing bad happens for their future.

Anyone couldnt be perfect and pretty sure that when we are still in our childhood on which we've been able to commit out some snatching or getting those coins from purse on our parents on which this is something a very common thing when we are still on our young but eventually these wrong doings would really be corrected out by our parents on which it would be something normal.
As a parent then it would really be just that right that we would really be tending to correct on whatever those wrong things our children been able to commit out. We arent perfect
and mistakes could really be done and this is why our children needs up guidance for us parents. Its normal to discipline but at the same time you would really be making them realize
that the thing they've done is never been that good.

Luckily you still don't have biological children but for sure you have some relatives or someone who's close to you that might already been into gambling, taking such action is the best thing that you can do, alarming and advising young folks about gambling and how it might takeover in terms of addiction, at first they might be stealing from their households but what if there's nothing there anymore? for sure addiction can push things up and maybe lead the kids to move to another level that's  a crime that possible to happen if there's no right guidance that those kids should have while exploring to this industry.

Schools and social media platforms can expose children to gambling-related content, whether through advertisements, peer influences, or online gaming platforms that incorporate gambling-like mechanics. Children tend to try something new, what they see from their friends can also make them want to try. With the widespread access to mobile phones and the internet, children today have unprecedented opportunities to engage in online activities, including gambling, often without their parents' knowledge.

Easy access to online gambling sites and apps means that children can potentially engage in these activities discreetly, without leaving any visible traces for their parents to detect. Parents play a vital role in supervising and guiding their children's online activities, but they may not always be aware of the extent of their children's exposure to gambling-related content. Setting clear boundaries regarding internet usage are crucial steps in mitigating the potential harms.

I will throw more weight to your opinion. There is an African proverb which says that “a child is not owned by his parents alone but the community”. what this means is that the education of a child is not left in the hands of his parents alone. When you look at the agents of socialization like church, social media, school, peer groups etc we can understand that blaming parents for a child`s misconduct completely can be unjust. Most of the attitude a child exhibits is not a product of his parent's teaching. Some are inculcated in the child as he interacts with his peers and his environment.

If a child’s social environment promotes negative behaviours, it can affect the child’s understanding of manners and appropriate conduct. For instance, environment where gambling is prevalent, a child can easily be lured into gambling without the notice of his parents and then start involving in wrong acts just to gamble.

You are right, of course there is something that is not talked about enough so that these children dare to steal the money that their children have, because if they get along with each other as you say, of course they will ask their parents and if that's true according to people For their parents, gambling is not a good thing. Of course, as parents, they can advise their children not to play gambling and advise their children to choose the type of game that is appropriate for their age.

In this case what has gone wrong is multiple and already we should establish a case of gambling addictions for the boy, before we go ahead to point out also the parents as being irresponsible in they actions because with risk reality we should know that the parent have failed in they responsibility to raise the boy properly he shouldn't be stealing money to gamble with, so both parents have failed in the role which is what the both of you have mentioned in your comments.

Well in this situation I will suggest that the boy should be taken to a rehabilitation center for him to come out of his gambling addictions tendency before any other civil punishment will follow.

[nara1892]

If I'm married and I have a child where my child is stealing money for gambling then I think it's obvious that I will definitely scold him first and after that I will try to give him an understanding of the dangers of the impact of gambling when someone has entered the addiction phase which not only will experience problems with finances but can also spread to many other things such as relationships with family or experiencing problems with friends because maybe he can just borrow money from his friends without thinking and having a way to pay it.

So if for example my child is not involved with gambling at all then I will never give him an understanding of the dangers of gambling because it could make them even more curious and look for many references about how gambling is, and as I said above if my child is caught stealing money for the purpose of gambling then obviously I will scold him and then I will give him the right understanding in common sense about what gambling really is and how dangerous the impact of gambling is along with putting a lot of restrictions on my child's activities such as limiting them from using smartphones and also limiting them from their environment.

It's true, if it's with relatives. and what annoys me is my relative who likes to gamble, she is a woman and is married and also has a child who is only about 9 months old, but she still likes to gamble, and when I get paid occasionally she likes to ask me for money, my heart doesn't want to give it because if it is used for gambling. because in my opinion, if I obey everything she asks, one of which is always giving money when she asks, I'm afraid she will be even bolder in the future, even though she already has a husband, the husband should be the one responsible for his wife's wishes, sometimes I can understand it, but If it often comes to the point where she asks for money to buy milk and her husband also asks me for money to buy cigarettes, that's very annoying for me, because I don't think I have any responsibility for that myself. I'm sure their situation is like that because a lot of their money is used on gambling so they experience economic difficulties.

I agree with you, indeed if someone commits an act of stealing and nothing happens, meaning no one knows that he stole money, there is a possibility that he could become bolder and more reckless to commit a bigger theft. it was so terrible. The impact of addiction is very bad, therefore we must be able to educate and advise the children under us, even though we cannot supervise them all day, we must do our best to prevent major losses.

If I were in the mother's shoes, I would feel mix of emotions,anger, disappointment and concern about my son. It would be frustrating to lose trust and lose your hard earned money. Disapointed because my son chose gambling over respecting our family's financial boundaries and needs. And concern about my son's well being and the potential harm of gambling to him. Winning can make the less the financial stress temporatily, but it wouldnt change the fact that he stole money for gambling which can affect his future behavior.

[summonerrk]

Oh, damn, this is a serious problem! If your children have started stealing money from you for gambling, then something needs to be done urgently.

First, talk to them seriously and explain that such things will not work. Perhaps they need the help of a psychologist or an addiction specialist. You can also try to restrict access to money and monitor how they spend it. The main thing is not to ignore this problem, because it will only get worse over time. I hope that everything will get better and the children will understand how important it is to be honest and responsible.

[Woodie]

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?

You know what's funny about all this, if the son won a lump sum definitely the narrative would be different & could be the hero of the family, but because everyone knows that gambling comes with its risks then the mother will be mad as she regards this as a waste of resources that the family worked for to have!

And before others, say it's a small amount let it slide, well unfortunately when it comes to money...if you don't have the discipline with small money, imagine the indiscipline that can follow with a million bucks   so basically it's about the principal not the amount of money lost.

If I were in the mother's shoes, I would feel mix of emotions,anger, disappointment and concern about my son. It would be frustrating to lose trust and lose your hard earned money. Disapointed because my son chose gambling over respecting our family's financial boundaries and needs.

That's a natural reaction from any concerned parent or guardian, but then again these habits don't develop on their own unless someone close to the kids does gamble or perhaps our media is doing so much gambling ads such that they selling dreams to the kids which gets them hooked!!
Btw, I also think in our time... gambling has gone out of hand at the moment such that KYC can't even stop underage gambling and it's the responsibility of parents not to dodge these talks and guide their children/dependants !!

Then why you would really be trying out to act on that way on which you do really make yourself as if you do have a responsibility with them? Yes i do understand about having that pity
on them but we do know that its not your problem and just let them on on facing up their challenges in life. They wont really be able to realize things until they would really be able to experience those hardship in life because if you do keep on supporting them then they wouldnt really be able to learn those hard things life since they do know that there's someone who would really be
catching them and this is something wont really be that right. Its not your responsibility as i said and there's no point on doing that as a form of help. It turns out that you are the ones
who do have work hard for you to raise them. lol

When it gets to the level of stealing to gamble, then you should know the person is already addicted to gambling, and you know it’s not an easy task to stop addicted gambler from gambling. Firstly you have to discourage the boy from gambling, I know it’s not what can be done easily, but if you keep on talking to the boy, am sure he will definitely listen one day. Make sure you are monitoring the boy’s movement, if possible change the type of friends which he is having, am sure he won’t be the only one gambling among his friends. Also make sure you don’t always leave the boy alone doing nothing, he might be tempted to go and gamble again when alone.

A person can actually be addicited to gambling and as long as he or she is gambling with only the money he or she earned, then all is well, or possibly well, but the moment that addiction has gotten to the extent of the person stealing money to gambling, then know that the life of that person is about to be totally destroyed, and as parents, time is already against us, and we have to work over time to bring such a child out of that situation immediately, doesn't matter is it's the parents money he or she stole, or used to steal, for there is this popular adage in my place which states that, being beautiful often starts from the inside of a person, then it goes outside - bad habit as well often starts from the home, a child who starts stealing from his or her parents for whatever reason, will one day, go out and steal from another person the day he tries to steal from his parents again but didn't find anything to steal.

As parents, we are supposed to keep watch over our children at all times, look after them, monitor every of their moves, know what activities they are engaging themselves in, this way, we should discover discover when they start gambling, step in at that time immediately to help them, not allow them get addicted to the extent of stealing money, before when try to bring them out, the work of bringing such a child out of addiction at this stage will be x5 more than, when the child just started gambling.
