it's sad that there are kids that are affected by their parents gambling addiction and who knows next time if there's a news about a mother that has also left their kids just to satisfy herself with gambling addiction and went to the casino. As leaving kids on the car were also in the news while a mother goes to shopping in the grocery store so as this is possible too.
I just can't digest the fact that some parents can be so irresponsible when it comes to parenting. How can a sane person leave kids who are less than 3 years old, alone at home, and go to a casino to gamble? You can't do that even if there is an emergency and you need to go immediately, how can you do something like that just for your entertainment or addiction? Such people don't deserve to be parents in the first place.
People often say that some people get things that they don't deserve while those who deserve them are deprived of those things, and when I see or hear about such incidents, I feel what they say is right because I have also seen examples of this happening where people who are very responsible have no children and these people have them but don't take good care of them.
Honestly as a father my mind would not be at rest IfIbwas person the OP is referring to I can't imagine leaving two kids at home while walking away to gamble that is absolutely irresponsibility of the highest order on my own part, I would be worried about their safety as well as the possibility of any of them getting injured while playing outside this is the consequence of being a addicted gambler such a person wouldn't feel consign about anybody whether a close relative or friend they would rather stay focus on their gambling habit, I think gamblers needed to avoid being addicted at all cost to avoid this type of touching story.
