A Shanghai man was sentenced to prison for kidnapping his own granddaughter so he could maintain his gambling addiction with the ransom money.
That is the height of it. I can't emagine how someone would go this far to the extent of kidnaping his own grand daughter all because he want his son in-law to pay a ransom of $72k to pay off his gambling loan. That is the reason why we keep on talking about gambling addiction and how it affects us in somany ways. Come to think of it how can a man of 65 years will still be playing gamble at his age? Like I always said gambling could be fun and can change someone's financial status but not what we can take to another dimension.
This is one kind of extreme level of gambling addiction. I will say every addiction on every sector bear some bad effect on peoples we have seen many times that for funding their gambling they are going connected with various crime. As we see one op mentioned. I have heared many year ago in Japanese on a Chinese Couple sold their children to funding thier gambling that was an world hot topic of that time. I think addiction has no age it's more of a psychopath so this 65 year old man is now addicted to gambling.
