2 years old kids alone at home for hours, while the father goes gambling

[Fredomago]

An irresponsible gambler and of course, an irresponsible father would do worse than that. When you don't have any control over yourself and your mind, the urge to gamble would make you do such things, and in my opinion, he is not the only person who would do that but there must be a lot of such irresponsible people who would leave behind more important things just so that they can go and gamble because they are highly addicted to gambling.

Whenever I read such stories, I feel like it's injustice by the creator who usually gives certain things to people who don't deserve them while those who deserve those are deprived of them. There are countless people so eager to have children who would take great care of them but they don't have any, while people such as this guy have them and they don't even care!

Same with you, that kind of irresponsibility where children like that do not deserve to experience a kind of selfishness, though we can't remove that fact that there are many gamblers who can't figure it out and can't handle the kind of addictions that they possess. It's pollution inside the brain that really manipulate human decision-making.

With a correct and balance mindset, you won't see those kinds of irresponsibility. Humans always have that compassion, especially with their loved ones, but if there's already an incorrect balance inside, you will hear unexpected kind of things like that.

The urge this man felt to gamble was so high, that he didn't even measure the consequences of leaving two 2 years old kids at home alone to gamble at a local casino for 5 hours straightforward. Imagine the state of mind of this man to give more value to his gambling session than to the lives of his two young kids who could need him anytime.

This is what gambling addiction can do to you and this is why it's very dangerous to have gambling addiction problem. This individual doesn't have control of his emotions he can do worst than this just to gamble. He could have gambled online or hire a nanny to look after his children while he go to the traditional casino to gamble if he couldn't gamble at home. Some gamblers only enjoy gambling when they're in a physical casino or they win more when they're gambling over there.

Where was the wife too, the wife should have known by this time he has spent with her husband that he's a gambling addict therefore she shouldn't leave their children with him. Both parents are to be blamed in this situation, I won't only blame the husband as addiction is a problem that can't get control easily but I'll blame the man more. His wife should be more careful when leaving the children with him.

[Iroh]

My question here is where is his wife? It's even more obvious that both parents are irresponsible. For 5 good hours a responsible wife must have called her husband to check up on the kids. If she's so busy to take care of them her self then she should at least call to as of them.
The fathers irresponsible act will cause more harm to those children if not controlled on time.

Why bring the spouse into this. The one being irresponsible here is obviously just the father who was supposed to be home looking after the kids. If anything, the wife would probably be working bearing in mind her kids would be home safe with her husband whose job it is at that point to look after the kids.
The wife has no fault in any of this. We’re not entirely sure if she called to check in on the kids or not but I wouldn’t fault her even if she didn’t call. The husband was the one watching the kids and he failed woefully at that.  With actions like this, he probably doesn’t deserve the responsibility of raising kids.

[Accardo]

Ridiculous. What a crazy father he is. I also have a son around 5 years old now but the nerve, I don't dare to leave him alone in our home. It will make me panic to the highest level but the father in that story is just chillax and relax playing at the casino.

According to the story, the police found a winning ticket worth $2,000 on his house, and looks like the reason for his addiction is, that he is currently winning. I'm afraid once that person begins experiencing a losing streak, he might forget totally that he has a 2-year-old kid and won't care anymore.

That's his fault, maybe he was losing and later started winning. He's lucky he stopped gambling after winning. It could be he realized his mistakes and checked the time, then rushed back home. A man like that is not qualified to father 2 kids. He would have done the gambling online instead and watch over his kids. The children are very young and can't stay on their own. What was he thinking in the first place. His condition is core addiction. And if he begins to lose, as you said, his behavior to his family won't be nice. Good the police reprimands him and charge him to court for abusing his kids. Luckily, the kids weren't harmed by the dangerous dog. Since his wife knows about his compulsive gambling habit, I don't think it's the man's first day of leaving his kids behind all alone at home for gambling.

[Promocodeudo]

This is one of the bad examples of excessive addiction to gambling, which may cause the patient to enter a state of indifference and disdain for everything that may prevent him from satisfying his addictive desires. Such people are not qualified to take care of even a cat. The problem is that in most cases, her behavior cannot be controlled and often appears normal.

It is unfortunate that these stories happen, but it is even more unfortunate that there are worse cases that we do not hear about and that do not reach the general public.

This is very bad, we thank God for everything though, addiction is something one should be very careful of, but sometimes I imagine why people can be this reckless to this extent, it is very disheartening, how will you spend all your time in a particular stuff and forget that your fellow human exist, though one of the reason for most addiction is winning, when a gambler win more than he lose, addiction may be his next lane to roll because he will consider the involved and continue without control, to me every gambler should know when to take a break and continue later.

Indeed, it's completely irrelevant and unnecessary. The story lacks context to blame the wife; she could be at work, outside, or wherever else; it doesn't matter. The father was left behind, responsible for the kids. It's purely his fault. I haven't heard anything more irresponsible than that. This is a pure example of someone who's severely addicted and cannot control themselves or their urges. You need to set your priorities straight; if you're not capable of raising children, don't have them, and if it happens nonetheless, man up and be responsible about it. There were so many things that could have gone wrong.

Couldn't he at least resort to online gambling? It would be slighly better than leaving his kids by themselves.

[GideonGono]

The father was clearly irresponsible and doesn't care about the kids, it is either he is so addicted to gambling or he is not ready to let go of his past life for the family that he build.
If they aren't ready to be a responsible parents then they shouldn't build a family, they aren't the only one who would suffer the kids would suffer more than them.

[Shamm]

I don't know what to say but this is not good. He should put the safety of his kids first instead of putting gamble first. I will say that the man is addicted to gambling and that was why he did such thing becau6when you are addicted to gambling, you will allow it control you, instead of you controlling yourself. I am happy that nothing happend to the twins, this is why I prefer online casino that you can gamble from your comfort zone.

The man is very addicted and that is the reason why he do that letting his kid suffer for an hour because of his addiction and the mother of a kid must take an action about this she must send her husband to the rehabilitation center so that it will cure and leave in gambling life forever . We all know that the father of a kid is not just normal all he needs is gambling without thinking that maybe he can cause more trouble in his addiction.

Luckly there was an attentive neighboor to call the police, otherwise the dangerous dog or any other potential threat on the streets could have severely harmed those kids.

There are people with gambling addiction who prioritize their gambling at any cost. They can't take a break there for a little while. The incident you described also indicates so. I find no difference between a drug addict and a gambling addict because they can do anything with their addiction.

It is not difficult to assume that the father has lost common sense who spends 5-6 hours outside because of gambling.

Such behavior of father is never acceptable. But there is nothing wrong with gambling platform. Everyone should be aware of their own circumstances.

This is true because the father could not look after his children well and instead left them at home. I don't know what was going through his mind that made him have the heart to leave his children without anyone's care. He really needs to cure his gambling addiction before he creates even bigger problems for his family. It is the duty of parents always to ensure the safety of their children, be responsible with them, and not leave them without anyone's supervision. Hopefully, the father will soon realize his mistake and be willing to cure his gambling addiction or reduce his gambling activities and focus more on looking after his children if there is no one other than him at home.

It is really just that sad that they do able to afford on leaving  their kids just for the sake of playing gambling. Addiction could really be result into those actions made out that we dont totally expect that someone would really be able to do so. Just like when you are that addicted with drugs on which you would really be that losing that kind of right thinking and this is the same thing
goes when you are addicted with gambling. Yes, it cant affect your body literally but the way of thinking then it does. If your addiction goes into that severe state then it wont be shocking
that someone could be able to do such shit things and this one is the example.

This is why it would be best that you should really be that normal that you should really be that responsible with your gambling activity. Dont come into a point that
you would neglect everything just for gambling. You would really be ending up on doing shit things such as this which we know that you could end up on getting imprison because
of the irresponsible decision that you had made.

Yes, gambling addiction does have bad consequences and can even make the addict do things out of control which he thinks are normal but according to other people beyond reason, they cannot think clearly because their minds have been controlled by gambling. Although there are various ways as you mentioned that they still you can gamble at home using your cell phone while looking after your toddler, or you can also hire a babysitter as you said so that she can leave her child at any time without having to worry about her child being because someone is already looking after her child.

Yes, as I said before, the role of both parents is very important in raising children. If the wife knows that her husband is an addict, she should not entrust her children to her husband, especially if her husband cannot escape from the local casino, then the wife should understand that her husband could neglect his children and leaving him at home, or maybe his wife thinks that entrusting the children to her husband telling him to look after the children can stop his addiction. So she thinks that her husband can focus on look after her child but in reality her husband cannot stop gambling because his gambling addiction has taken over his entire brain.

[HelliumZ]

It makes me feel bad to hear such incidents, how can a person leave a two-year-old child alone at home and go to a gambling club and get drunk on gambling. It is only a special type of mentally ill patient that can cause this phenomenon. It is not possible for a brain person to do such a thing because no sane person can leave a two year old child alone in a room at home and go to a gambling club.
One of the many negative effects of gambling is mental disorder, that is, people are attracted to gambling in such a way that any healthy event around them will seem abnormal to them and the gambler cannot accept any normal event as normal. This gambler is mentally disordered and he has nothing in him to call his human perspective. It never crossed his mind that he left the child and went gambling in two years. When a normal brain cannot judge good and bad, that brain is called a disordered brain. This gambler either has that brain presence or is mentally ill.

You just mentioned it, that kind of addiction drives the person to leave his children and proceed to gamble, no one in the right set of mind will be doing that or maybe if in some weird cases maybe there are but in terms of leaving your children where you fully understand the risk that's something unaccepted, hopefully after this incident if ever that father manage to go back and recover his family, act like this would never happen again.

We can't deny the fact that there are addicted people who can take that risk just to please the lust and desire of gambling, they are willing to sacrifice and let things to happen because of malfunctions inside their brains, it's already being dominated of gambling addictions.

This is what comes with addiction, addiction is a brother to unbalanced mindset, its controlling and irresponsible behaviors aren't avoidable. Leaving the twins behind for hours its a testimony of how far he can go just to suite his gambling desires.

I was kind of thinking if he had a wife, and how could his wife leave the twins under his Care for so long bearing in mind that he has this addiction problem, because for the neighbor to keep an eye on him suggests he has done similar things in the past and if he does have a wife, its carelessness on her part and she contributed to the fate of these little children on that faithful day.

[Hypnosis00]

Gambling is good when managed so well but if not, this would be a nightmare as well.

This is how gambling addiction causes a lot of trouble - mentally, physically, and family relationships.
A person who has got into this situation becomes irresponsible because what it is their mind is to gamble. They could be happy of doing this rather than spending time with the family or in social affairs.


So many stories pointing out how gambling affects us. Sadly, many gamblers still ignore it until the moment they commit such problems before they realize that they are wrong. We don't need to quit gambling but at least, we know also how to control it.

Father arrested after leaving 2-year-old twins home alone for hours to go gambling, police say

Apart from the fact that the man described in this thread has been arrested and received punishment for his actions and carelessness, even in this case a father had the heart to abandon his two year old child just to fulfill his gambling desires. however, in the end, he was charged with abusing his own child. I think he has received something worthy of his actions, and appropriate rewards according to the applicable law. I will not comment on many things in this thread, because in fact there are many causes or other factors that make a father have the heart to abandon a child under 5 years old without parental supervision as is the part and responsibility of a father.

In fact, we don't know exactly what happened. beginning, causes and consequences. what is certain is that he was negligent as a responsible father. the lesson we can learn from this thread is that responsibility is something that is very important for all aspects of life, even if it involves gambling. here we learn, even a father has the heart to abandon a child who still needs attention and guidance. It's not because the land-based casinos, or even the online casinos, caused it. but on the individual himself, who is willing to sacrifice something to fulfill his desires. this is where we can refer, if responsibility is important. and how we can be responsible and part of what must be applied to our lives, including how we are responsible with our gambling.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

          -   That is a bad example of a gambler who has a gambling addiction. I can't imagine that a father who is addicted to gambling can leave his 2-year-old son just because he wants to gamble. Such situations are one of the abnormal activities of an individual person.

A gambler like this is no longer in his right mind. How can you think that he is still in his right mind? This person is so controlled by gambling addiction that he can only satisfy himself by gambling and does not care about the safety of his 2-year-old son. He should be arrested, and he should pay for what he did. It's good that there is a caring neighbor to save the child.

Maybe he was an insane person who left his children at home alone. He should have a psychiatric examination to find out how sane he is so that people can also know whether he has a serious gambling addiction or not so that his family can find a solution. We all wonder why he left his children for such a long time and where the other family members were.

Maybe his family members didn't know that he was addicted to gambling, so they left him and his children at home without anyone else besides him. But a father with the heart to leave his children for a long time is not a responsible father, especially if he only goes to gamble. He can gamble after his family members return home so he can leave his children with other family members.

[redsun114]

You said the kids was left home alone. So, I assume they are inside their house. Therefore dangerous dogs won't be able to attacked them or they won't be threatened by other hazards that we can mostly see on the streets because I also assume that the door is shut and then the gates were closed.

The state of mind of the addicted person (not only specific in gambling) is not healthy anymore, so it's no surprised that they can do such act. But indeed, we or the kids are lucky because there are concerned citizens that help them. Now we can have a peace of mind and let's hope that the father is going to get punished so that he won't do the same thing again.
