No, I mean why didn't the family prevent it before everything happened. Before that event happened I thought some strange behavior would be shown. Gambling addiction is also something that the family should remind and continue to advise. And when something like this happens, who is to blame? old man turned into a monster by his addiction? I don't think so, because he clearly can't control himself anymore, and it is the duty of those closest to him to be able to pay attention to his behavior.

It's because the family doesn't know if their son is a gambler, how they can stop the gambling addiction when they don't know if their son is a gambler in the first place. However I've know some family have stop their son to stop gamble, but it's not worked because the addiction is really control his mind. When it's happen, it's better for a professional to take care about it.

I think it's a bit strange when the family doesn't know, because a gambler will definitely show unusual behavior, such as their money running out quickly or other things related to money. For me personally, from there, questions started to arise, why did his money run out so quickly, for example, and that could be the start of following up on what he was actually doing. I don't think it's possible for a gambling addict not to exhibit unusual habits, especially in financial terms.

Not everyone can be open with other people even though it is their own family, if a gambling addict is a closed person then it is impossible for his family to know how financial he has so it is difficult to find out.
On the other hand, I believe not many people want to tell or show their finances because this stage is a privacy that is so guarded.
Yes, it is clear that gambling activities and addiction can be shown when someone holds a cellphone or uses a PC all the time while gambling because a gambling addict can spend a very long time using a cellphone or PC for them to play.
