- That's really bad, just because of the addiction to gambling and just to relieve it, even one's own grandson will be used just for money.
This is just one of the bad effects of gambling addiction.

So it's really important that you have self-control so that you don't end up like this. This is shameful and it is not normal for someone to do this. It's actually a psychological problem. It's sad when old people are still like that.

That is why addiction is supposed to be avoided by all means. Once you are addicted to something, that very thing becomes more important to you even more than your own family and friends. It is just like someone being intoxicated and will be doing things out of their consciousness.
The war against gambling addiction should be intensified and that is the reason why some countries ban gambling in total because of the adverse negative effects that may be out of control.

Yes, it's really an unfortunate incident because out of all the people, it's the grandfather who took his own grand daughter to blackmail his own family. Every addict knows this feeling and some are even selling almost everything inside their house, some even resort to breaking other house just to feed their minds to continue from gambling, they just don't know what they're doing because it's already on their system which prevents them to weigh things from right or wrong.

I agree with that, I know that casinos and other gambling platforms are good for the nation's economy because the millions worth of tax will be helpful to build infrastructures and other things needed but if the nation is already booming already, it's time to ban these kind of activities because the consequences are not really worth it. Take for example South Korea, they have their own casinos but only the tourists can use it and not their own citizens as it's viewed as unlawful act and doing such will result into a jailtime.

The balance should be the priority here, if you are seeing that the bad after-effect are really huge then it's time to act though for corrupt government who only see the benefits and not the side effect of this business, we can't do anything as they will have their own reasoning to protect the so-called economy which really been booming because of those gambling business around.

The madness inside a gambler's mind is unreachable once they already engage to these activity, the limitations can't be ranged for sure.
