My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.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.
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.
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?
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.
