When a minor becomes addicted to gambling, it can sometimes lead to dangerous behavior. A minor boy fails to control himself. He may sometimes behave abnormally. Here it is the duty of a father to take care of his son at least till he reaches adulthood. A little delay here can sometimes lead to great danger. Which may never be recovered.
It can be the mother of the minor, or someone else he/she is living with, not necessarily their father. It can be their therapist, or an online influencer even. Minors should know that gambling is for adults only. And like all other adults-only things they can be harmful for minors in many ways.
