when I looked at this thread now I remembered that days ago I have seen very strange things in my city, I see children who are only 6 years old and others who are 8 years old having a cell phone and playing games, and these children spend most of their time days playing on the phone and then without a doubt they will start playing games of chance, because these kids on the phone do research and when they search about games for phone they will find games of chance and as they grow they will enter the world of gambling and they will not talk nothing for parents, I think it's a big risk to give a 7-year-old a phone. in the same way that a parent should not take their child to the world of gambling, this is not a good thing.

If you are talking about these kids gambling, it is quite impossible for them to gamble at that young age. First, they are not qualified to top up in the game. I haven't seen 6 or 8 yrs. old kids making a top-up in a game nor even these kids have access to any financial processor applications. No matter how hard they tried, they will end up playing play money and that isn't gambling in its definition. Probably if these kids get older, but at that age, I doubt they can gamble on a mobile phone.

This is another example of why parents should manage the mobile phones of kids, the should always check them and if possible put a monitoring application so that they will know what sites and what apps their kids are visiting.

What I think is that parents will always be responsible for the actions of their children,

Indeed they will always be and they must be responsible for the action of their children if the kids is in a young age. But those aged 16 and above have their understanding of the surroundings and I think making parents responsible for these teenagers isn't fair. They can guide them and teach them but I believe 16 years old has the knowledge and be able to understand and differentiate bad from good.

because children tend to imitate their parents or those who are very influential in their lives, if they see that their parents do bad acts they will interpret it as good deed to imitate, there is nothing that can evade the responsibility of parents, there will always be some responsibility for them, a good father or mother will not only be aware of their children until they are 18 years old, I have seen how some parents disassociate themselves of their children at the age of 18, having a child is for life, it is something that is acquired for life, it is one of the best commitments in life. When they are minors, everything that happens with the children is the direct responsibility of the parents.

Indeed little kids imitate their parents but teenagers have the idea of good deeds and vices unless the person has a mental problem. I believe it is just a reason for teenagers aged 16 and above to justify their wrong deeds. I believe people at this age know that gambling is bad but since it is ordinary in their family, they don't bother and keep on gambling. That is why the responsibility to teach children of good traits and character is primarily on the parents.
