This isn't about whether the father is right or not. This is about the father trying to save the future of his son. A male child who is living with his parents and is into gambling may still be less than eighteen and that is underaged betting. Imagine if this boy starts gambling at this age what belongs of him and his future. He should be out there learning a skill or acquiring some education that will improve his odds at succeeding in life and not the meagre money he has won from sports betting.
I think is this case the boy situation is more or less a blessing to the father rather than a cause this is so because the not many young people are lucky to hit such jack pot that can change the story of. Their family if the family is. From an average class, 30 millions in naira is good some of money that could transffothe fsmily status, so it is unwise of the father to have acted that way and this could possible lead to more danger for the family since the boy could turn to strangers for advice and that could lead him into my gbling.
But if the family raly around him the boy in no time he could possibly make the right investment plans and make use of the money properly.
If the dad didn't do that, then he would have passed a message to his son that it okay to gamble and waste his time at a betshop when he knows that he should be out there chasing his dreams. Great parenting if you ask me.
I don't see any positive message that the dad passed here, rather he just makes the boy's condition worst since he will have to spend such a huge amount of money outside with strangers.
The father could have suited a better way to solve this issue, instead of chasing the boy away, because for me, the boy has done ok to have returned ned home with his bounty rewards.
