But it doesn't matter if the woman is the biological mother or not, what's the concern here is that a child is involved and for sure the child didn't know what is going on. So it's the responsibility of the adult to take care of that child and not be a collateral on your gambling addiction because that is the worst that you will do, involved a minor just to continue with your gambling addiction. Yes, and the best thing we can do is that the child is safe by now and live a normal happy life because the child doesn't deserved this. And for the woman, again, hopefully she knows that she did is wrong and change for the better and start her recovery from gambling addiction.
Whoever the woman is must remove the child from this case because the child is not worthy of being used as collateral for his debt, I agree with you that she must be aware of his actions and not involve the child in adult cases, in fact she does not deserve to be brought to a gambling place let alone she made it for guarantee instead of releasing her from debt bondage, I think women also carry out legal prohibitions involving 4-year-old children.
For sure the casino or gambling platform wont really be allowing that kind of stuff which is totally inhuman.This is where people do really end up if severe addiction hits you hard and
you would really be making yourself get drowned with huge debt.You cant really able to avoid on making those actions or decisions without even minding that you are already giving your own child.
For sure this woman would be really that facing up some legal issues on what he had done, this is something not really an action made up on a person who do have
on their right minds.This is why its important that you should really be avoiding gambling if you do see that you couldnt really afford to lose soo much.

Gambling is a legitimate business in Nigeria, the casinos and bet shops are very much patronized. I do not think the woman from the article has a gambling addiction. I believe she was trying to make some quick cash to pay her bills, and ended up incurring more debts. The lotto shop is not entirely innocent in this case, their mode of operation is unprofessional. How can they allow customers to stake games and not pay first or immediately. And accepting a child as collateral? It’s unheard of!
The more the gambling became legal the more the people are prone to addictions because there are no restrictions being applied to them except only if they will restrict their own selves which is recommended. Even if let say the woman is not addicted, it is still wrong to think that the gambling machine is similar to ATM machine where you can dispense cash to pay your bills. What can likely happen is that she can get stuck in more debts.

The lotto shop is innocent here because they are simply operating their business. It's the players' responsibility whatever happened to them. If it's about the kid which has been used as a collateral, I think the owner will surrender the kid in the police and the mother will be undergone by a counseling.

As always there are extreme cases of gambling addiction. It always comes with the game. That is why tight regulations against gambling should be implemented. Not only because of it could destroy one's finances or it could be used by launderers but also because it could actually destroy one's mental health and stability. I hope there will be intervention especially to the child and for the entire gambling sector as well so that cases such as this won't happen again.
But what type of regulation in this case? This is a woman with a kid. Or regulation would not let the woman to gamble? Or that women having children should not gamble again? That is not possible. What I know can be regulated about gambling are not related to this case. The woman is out of her mind and does not worth that child again. It would be good if the woman is not given the child again because it would not be a surprise if the woman later sell the child for money is what I could think.

I don't have anything specific in mind but I think there must be something that needs to be done so that things like this won't happen again. Perhaps mothers, even fathers, or anybody bringing little children shouldn't be allowed to gamble? Or why does the mother in this case need to offset her losses? Is she borrowing from the casino itself to be able to gamble? I think this shouldn't be allowed also. Only those with money on hand should be allowed to gamble.

Some mothers can be careless but there is something that is not adding up to the story, as the efforts to reach the police for more information were not successful but my intuitions tell me that the woman is not the real mother, it is possible that she was caught on debt and used another person child as the bait just to escape the hot situation. I mean, why would a mother go to a lotto to gamble and only for her to abandon her child as collateral, it is either the lady is having a mental disorder or some memory loss to have forgotten the child till evening in the hands of people who could have done whatever they want to the child especially now with the level of insecurity in the country.
because the information in the OP is not very detailed, we can put aside the speculation that the woman gambler is not the child's biological mother

but I see that when women become heavy gamblers then they are more dangerous than men, men are unlikely to sell/make their children as collateral (from many cases I have seen) but women have narrow minds and are very desperate to do that

that's really a poor child, hopefully everything can be resolved well and that child is safe

Yes women don’t gamble as much as men which makes me wonder what desperate condition the lady must have found herself in. Like I said before, I don’t believe this is case of addiction. Unwanted babies are dropped at orphanages and doorsteps of churches everyday all over the world. There is still a lot of information missing from the story, where’s the father? Why has no one come to claim the child? Is the bet shop demanding for their money before releasing the child to his/her guardians.

People who are addicted to gambling have done crazy things as a result of their addiction. Nonetheless, I never imagined reading a story as unbelievable as this. It is the story of a woman who abandons her 4-year-old child after using him as collateral and sustaining huge losses. Firstly, I am shocked because it is the male gender who have been known to go to any lengths to satisfy their gambling addiction.  In addition, I wonder what would have moved the woman in this case to do this kind of thing. My assessment is that this is simply a case of irresponsible parenting and problem gambling. How do you think about this?

Quote
A woman has reportedly abandoned her 4-year-old son in a lottery shop in Enugu after incurring huge losses in gambling. The incident Sahara Reporters gathered happened at Moore House Street, Ogui in the state capital on Thursday. Residents of the area said the woman left her son in the Lotto shop after she incurred a huge loss she couldn’t offset. The little boy was later taken to Ogui police station when the wait for his mother was becoming endless. A police officer who confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters on Friday narrated how a little child was brought to the station by some persons who claimed his mother used him as collateral to play lotto.

that's a crazy case that should raise attention to gamblers and people who are addicted to gambling, because for it probably starred as "I'm just gambling for fun" then it evolves to bad things which as we can see as bad as leaving your own child, people should put limits to their gambling and avoid things getting worse, you might think you would never do anything like that but Gambling can drive people crazy.

It depends on how they manage that kind of decision making some people are getting too addicted in playing even though they don't really care about the other's feelings, that's why there are some organization handles this kind of issue related to woman and children and the capability of the parents to handle themselves even the children they have. This sure requires a lot of time for her before realizing the things made.

Wrecklessness, greediness, and abusive gambling are the reasons why people's lives are being ruined. Gambling itself isn't that harmful despite its risks if a gambler knows how to play responsibly. It depends on how we deal with gambling and make decisions about it. We always aim for good gains but if we continuously chase our losses, that can lead to worse scenarios. If we'll be irresponsible gamblers and let it ruin even our relationships between our family and loved ones, it simply means that we have allowed it to rule over our lives.

I cannot avoid not to think how unfortunate the child's situation is because he's born to an irresponsible parent and her biological mother is addicted to gambling to the point that she can't weigh things correctly. How can she use her own child as a collateral to meet his gambling needs? She doesn't have a right to call herself a mother, she needs help and needed to get inside a program. Poor child Cry

It's indeed a perfect example of an irresponsible parenting. How could someone used her child as a collateral? A mother who's in her right mind would never do that. The mother has a gambling addiction problem and it is in worst point since she's not in her right mind already. Anyway, what happened to the kid? I hope his custody is taken away to his irresponsible parent. Gambling is not bad if you are a discipline gambler who can control yourself otherwise it can put you into a worse sutuation just like the woman in this news.

The casino allows that woman to play in exchange for her child? I'm curious what's the advantage that will be gained by the casino in doing that. If that's the case, it's like a form of human trafficking and that was punishable by the law.

Not just the woman but the casino needs to face the authorities for an explanation.

That was horrible news because of gambling addiction.

this is quite a strange behavior. first of all this case is of a girl and she is really silly to risk her son just to gamble. but my question is if she doesn't have a husband I mean this can be prevented if she has a husband. if a woman does this I think she is a prostitute with a wild life in the outdoors. Gambling addiction can indeed cause something that is beyond normal people's understanding like this case.
Thats a wrong perception, because she doesn't have her husband we can't mark her as a prostitute. Life is different for different people and we don't know in what situation she went on collateral with her son. What she did is wrong and she needs support mentally and financially that is what I understood.

i do agree with you, we can't form conclusion based on what she had done with her kid. if you are a gambling addict, no matter what your status in life, with or without a husband, you can resort to some unexpected decisions. this kind of people do really need help but that is, if they want to change also for the betterment of their lives. because if not, no matter what help you will offer to them, they will just go back to their old habits.

For me, it's fortunate that the child was abandoned in a gambling shop for others to see that the child needs help.

Just imagine what kind of life this child has to bear once returns to his irresponsible parents.

The news is not complete and we don't know if the child remained in police custody or return to his mother.

While some people are looking for children of their own, some others do not value what they have.
My assessment is that this is simply a case of irresponsible parenting and problem gambling. How do you think about this?
This is the height of it, making the innocent child suffer for her own irresponsibility. The child should be taking into government care and such a mother if found should be arrested and taking to rehabilitation. I wonder what her intention was, maybe that the child should be held by the gambling shop to repay the equivalent of the money lost in labor.
It’s clear, the woman is not already in her good thinking so she should be arrested and put into rehabilitation center. That way, if she has another child left, she won’t do the same thing making him/her as a collateral. This is not just an irresponsible parenting, but a serious gambling addiction too. And because of that, she cannot think anymore what’s right from wrong.
