Yeah, the main reason when our kids start to play gambling, when parents don't care about their kids activities. Than definitely it is parents fault, why they are too much negligence for their kinds look after. Because if we care of our kids and tell them in the start when they are growing about bad activities than definitely they could safe themself and also safe them from gambling.
As a son i will say you are wrong. My parents did(shit, they still are) care about my activities when i was kid. That still didn't stopped me from betting when i was under aged. But yeah, you can give your best to guide them but you can't put your kids under glass bell and hold them there 24/7.
An this is why we must teach them that is wrong and why it is wrong that way they can take the right decision without any input form the parents since they will know the difference between what it is right or what is wrong.
