How much gambling can change a person and how low his mind can go.

[MAAManda]

Mindset is the main thing in this case, the child of a father no longer enjoys gambling and has become a problem gambler. I've heard many stories that are sadder than yours, even more sadistic.

In the area where I live, there's a mother who is willing to offer her kidney using a banner that she puts on her body. Her son was addicted to gambling and had debts worth tens of thousands dollars, the mother went to offer his kidney to anyone who wanted to buy it.

In another case, there was a child who killed his parents because his parents refused to give him money to gamble. Really, I think those people are no longer a human. Gambling is for entertainment, don't make it as a living.

A gambler becomes so addicted that he decides to steal from his home. Although this matter is very difficult for that family but I want to share here with everyone that I heard from a father tomorrow about his child. How sad is that father who earns hard all day and takes money for his children just to keep them well. But when a child becomes most addicted to gambling, he steals his father's hard earned money and starts gambling in his own home.

Your post suggest that this is a case of under-age gambling which is highly discouraged. All casinos forbid children from using their platform for reasons such as you have highlighted in this post which is stealing to gamble. Children can easily exhibit bad gambling characters such as gambling addiction that can make them misbehave. I really feel disgusted whenever I read or hear about somebody stealing to gamble. One of the important things I learnt is to gamble with only money I can afford to lose.

I heard this story from a father yesterday that his son steals money from home if he is not at home then whatever plan he makes steals his money and takes it to gamble it is a very sad story.  How sad it is that the father is telling people about his child's gambling with such sadness. So baboon how much the person has become addicted to gambling that he steals money from his family and gambles and loses. I only shared this incident here because a family must be most aware of their child or else they will surely become addicted to gambling like this person. Every family has a responsibility to keep their children well, so everyone must always attract your children to the good side so that they don't get into gambling dens.

This incidence further stresses the need to keep gambling away from children because it impact them negatively. Some parents are not able to completely shield their children from gambling due to the environment they find themselves while some parents are extremely careless about it. The parents can do more to protect children from gambling.

It seems like I can feel the weight and brokenness of the father as I read your story. I think it's not too late for their child to recover from gambling addiction and rebuild their lives. I'm thinking, are they a family-oriented bunch? If not, perhaps they lack open communication and spend quality time together, which could lead the child to unhealthy habits. If the father needs guidance or assistance, they could consider seeking help from rehab to support them through counseling. Sometimes, they don't choose to become addicted, but they can choose to get help.

One thing about gambling addiction it is different from every other kind of addiction. When the person who is addicted to gambling haven't seen  gambling as a problem and not willing to stop gambling it is difficult to get rid of addiction.  Since the boy is already addicted if he is not willing to come out from his problems I don't think his family will be able to do something about it. Even if the family tries their best to stop him from gambling addiction,  if he is not willing to change and if he gets the opportunity to play gambling he will definitely go back to his addiction.

When one is addicted to gambling and willing to overcome addiction,  the best way to win addiction is to totally stop playing gambling, doing this it will be very easy but when one keeps playing it is possible for one to even get more addicted and this makes everything difficult and one will continue to suffer being addicted.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

Since the father knows his son steals from him when he keeps money at home, and the fact that he's addicted to this gaming stuff shows that there's more to having him repented and stop the stealing habit. I think the best thing is to cut his supply of funds first which is directly affecting the father financially and emotionally.

The father should form the habit of keeping the excesses of his money in the bank and not in the house, give him strict instruction never to leave the house without proper reason and monitor the child closely to  ensure compliance. He's still a child and can be reshaped to be a better person. I still recommend the child getting some kind of busy, I mean if he's idle and just staying at home gambling, he can be hooked up to learning a trade or skill. His master should also be properly intimated on his habit so he keeps a close eye on him and not fall a victim. Idleness makes people vulnerable to negative influences and I believe if he's busy, his mind can be occupied with new activities and help with his addiction.

Gambling is not made for weak personality people who get easily triggered either by their wins or their losses, they get easily influenced and they take decisions impulsively based on moments of rage of desperation, they get addicted to Gambling because they can't control their behaviours.

The story you just told us is very unfortunate because it is difficult to deal with a child who is addicted and on top of that a child who steals money from his parent who works hard to assure a living for him. I'd like to know how old this child is because we can understand better if we know how old he is. Let's say the child is a teenager, in this case we might blame the parents for not supervising their child's behaviour and activities, for letting him drown in such toxic environment and catching those bad habits like stealing money.
But If their child is an adult old enough to know what is bad and what is good, then in this case it is even more sad because as an adult you should already be aware that your parents worked hard day and night for you to live good and to provide your needs, in that age you should try to pay back their efforts and hard work instead of stealing their money.

Stories like that should be taken as an example of how bad can gambling be if it is taken more seriously than it should be taken as just a fun activity where you should spend wise and never spend more than you can afford losing. Following this case, parents should be more aware of their kids activities and should keep an eye on them teaching them the right habits to catch.

Sad that there's incident like this happening in the family and this means that child doesn't get any proper guidance since he manage to steal some money from his parent. If his mother can able to look up his child and see what activities he or she's engaging on for sure he can do some action to make his child avoid such risky activities.

Their children need a good advice on this since if they let those stealing and gambling still happening for sure they can expect that more worse case scenario will happen.

If they don't want their child to became a criminal when they grow up then as early as they can they should discipline them. There are so many ways on how they can do that and they just need to cooperate with their partners also with other people who can help them in this case.

This is such a sad incident that may happens to a family. first of all, how old is his son? This is where we can see how parents discipline their children, I don't blame the parents for why their child reached the point where the child became like that, but if their child is not of legal age, they can discipline him while he is young yet, but if he is already of legal age, it's not their fault that their son did such a thing, it's just sad because based on your story, it seems like the father has nothing else to do about the evil that his son is doing, he has already robbed them, and maybe because of his addiction to gambling, he will commit a more serious sin so maybe he should talk to him, parents also have the right to scold or reprimand their child even if he is old.

[Nwada001]

What the father should do first is send the child to the correctional centre. To start with, he should be there for a little while until his brain is back to a little normal. They should also look for and plan for ways that they can use to get him a professional therapist to get him out of that addiction. 
 
Where the parent will make a mistake is if they treat this very lightly as a result of the boy being their child, because if they don't take action right now, it might escalate to where he will be stealing from people outside.
 
That's if he is not already doing that, and when caught, he won't be shown mercy the way the parents do, and the blame won't only be on him but will also escalate to the parent for not giving him a proper way to go.

[Fiatless]

It's really sad to hear the stories of parents whose children are addicted to gambling, which makes it even more difficult for the parents because they have to bear the burden that their children suffer as a result of gambling addiction. Indeed, the effects of addiction can have a bad impact on a person's life if they have fallen into it because it is quite difficult to overcome. The only way to stop is not to give him access to continue gambling when his child has no more money. My advice as a parent is that we must be able to be firm if we child has exceeded such limits. If you can't be firm, the child will continue to do things that are detrimental family.

The first question that dropped in my mind after reading this disturbing story is has the father or any member of the family ever gambled and is this young boy aware of it? If the answer is no, then I feel very sorry for this helpless father. But if the father or any other relatives gambled, I would believe that they contributed to his son's gambling problems.

He should gamble if he doesn't have the means to finance his betting. Stealing to gamble is a sign that he is suffering from acute addiction and needs special attention immediately. The best option is for him to stop gambling until he can finance his gambling and able to control his behavior. The father should advise him about the consequences of his actions, and he could take him to a gambling therapist for counseling and medication.

This act of children or gamblers as the case maybe stealing from parents who overworks their self just to keep the family going is becoming alarming.
Couple of months ago I raised this same related thread up about how a child stole his hardworking mother's money just to gamble What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble?.

The emotional outbreaks is not acceptable at all. How would the parents keep having half sleeps in thinking about how it would better the family and working more than their strengths could bear just to make sure they make the kids feel bit comforted and striving on how they can attain better life of living in the nearest future while even when the parents financial portfolio does not seem likely to obtain those great dreams for the kids.

Only conscienceness gambler would desist from stealing to gamble not just from their parents but others too because if someone can steal from their parents to gamble then the child can also steal from other people with same reasons of gambling.

It is because incidents like that, the family of those that are addicted eventually can give their backs to them, as even if they deep down still love that person, the addicted is so dissociated with the world that they do not see how much damage they are doing to their family, so the family may be left with no other option but to distance themselves from their loved one, because they cannot really allow themselves to be robbed every single time their family member wants to gamble.

So is this story about stealing, children and gambling or about stealing and children only? If we replace steal to gamble with steal to buy sweets, nothing will change. We will get same father who works hard and act of stealing by child to satisfy his desire. I remember we had similar topic here and the idea of it was the same. The real issue here is a child that does not have enough money for his own needs. I see simple solution here - make him earn money.

[JunaidAzizi]

Yeah, it's a very hurtful movement for a father who knows about his children's bad addiction and Tells everyone about it, the father is so helpless that he only tells others and loses control of the son. This is a child who is addicted in such a way that he steals things from home without any fear, I saw much older people around 35 to 40 years person who also get the same addiction and they go to a stage where they no longer fulfill the basic needs of a family instead he sells the gold of his wife and loss it in gambling and then he divorces his wife. He was mentally disturbed when he was told that he had lost all his things. So the moral is to keep an eye on your child, your brother because addiction, is not limited to just younger age, and if you feel that he is engage in it on daily basis then admit him to any hospital so that maybe he will understand the effect of it and will come back to his daily routine.

Gambling addiction is a devastating sucker punch, right? Even important things (family, trust) are stolen. Addiction doesn't discriminate. It hijacks your brain, alters your priorities, and makes you sacrifice everything, even being a nice person, for the next fix or bet

A father works hard and gives his all. And for what? To have his own kid steal it all, driven by gambling addiction. The narrative is tragic and a wake-up call. It shows our evil side, when winning becomes an addiction that undermines ideals, respect, and love. Gamblers lose track of reality and the agony they're causing their loved ones. The intellect initiates the downward spiral, which engulfs the heart and soul

Watchfulness is your weapon, knowledge your shield. The fight is happening at home, not in casinos or on dodgy websites. You need open, honest, boundary-setting communication. A tragedy awaits those who pretend everything's alright. Find healthy passions, but use them to build yourself, not gamble

[SeaCoinCollector.]

It's sad to hear about the child's addiction to gambling that leads them to steal from their own family. It's important for parents to stay vigilant, take action and address the child's addiction before it escalates further. The family should support have an open communication and guide their child to help break free from their addiction and prevent further harm.

[Gozie51]

Every family has a responsibility to keep their children well, so everyone must always attract your children to the good side so that they don't get into gambling dens.

I don't think there is a fast rule about that. Children have a way to pick from what is happening around the house and so if the father or mother has a positive attitude and does a particular thing, the children at home follows that too likewise if they see the parents with bad attitude. Parents who are knowledgeable about this try as much as possible to showcase good attitude to the children or in the presense of the children while they could do other negative attitude slyly where the children won't observe that.

In other words, show a positive attitude to the children so that they won't be exposed to the societal ills on time or vices around their environment, they can learn and choose the way to behave and react or act when they are adults. Fathers who are gamblers always end up having sons who follow his way of life at least one of the sons because they see him gamble too.

...... So baboon how much the person has become addicted to gambling that he steals money from his family and gambles and loses.

Every family has a responsibility to keep their children well, so everyone must always attract your children to the good side so that they don't get into gambling dens.

It's a bane for a family to have a child like this doing this to his family, it causes depression and worry for the parents, and they have to do something immediate and necessary to avoid the worst-case scenario and that is stealing from other people.

The family should at all times check their child's activities, and make sure that their children grow up to become a good child and useful citizens of their country, both the parents and the families have to protect the welfare of their children from gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction in children is serious and both the government and the family, have to address the issue the government can instruct the gambling platform not to accept minors and to remind their clients to gamble responsibly.

[Davidvictorson]

OP your topic should be "How much gambling addiction..."
It is always sad to read stories like this. I ask myself whose fault is this, the parent's negligence or child delinquency?
Did the parents ignore the warning and notable early signs or were their kids smart enough to hide it?

The problem is so multifaceted that it calls for a reality check. It would be mind-blowing to check the statistics of underaged gamblers. Despite efforts from the government, their parents may have given up but there is always help. Religious leaders, elders, someone who the kid can listen to if they can't listen to their parents can speak to them. It helps.

If you are parent, do not assume that your kids can't become victims of this. Be involved in their lives and let them know it.

The child environment will influence him, he may hang out with friends who also like to gamble. Parental control is needed but it comes back to whether the parents always monitor their child activities or not. Because if not, don't blame other people. Children are entrusted so that good and bad behavior reflects what parents teach them. Now that he is addicted to gambling, the solution to save him is to send the child to community service, to undergo rehabilitation. Parents also have the right to check everything they access using a cellphone, but parents responsibilities are different in each country, for example when they reach the age of 17 they have the freedom to work as they wish, a father job is only up to a certain limit like sending her to school and getting her married. If this has been fulfilled then there will no longer be any burden on parents' responsibilities towards their children.

I will change everyone tough.
- Go to youtube
- Search of (Kicks) streamer called "BossManJack"
- You are gonna to see, what change are being made by doing gambling.

No money can satisfied him, everything is always ended hurting him self, deposit the money he already withdraw, raising his bet, and crazy things cannot be satisfied with the amount money he was winning.
