Yes, wherever you look, there are more gambling ads, especially when you enter social media, you will see only gambling ads. And most of the minor children now use mobile phones, they are so attracted to mobile phones that they can easily see gambling ads. But the most important thing is to be aware, if parents can keep their children away from using mobile phones, most of the children will grow up to be good people, they will not associate with bad people, and now people are mostly going down bad paths only through mobile phones. So if we parents are aware, then we can protect our children, otherwise we will not be able to protect our children.
It's better for the parents to monitor their kids as it's still part of their obligation to guide those young minds to prevent any distractions in life, like you mentioned, it's not hard to access gambling site now a day, just go to your favorite social media site as there are so many alluring ads that will pop up and will lead you to connect to a casino services, it's important for the parents to monitor the access of their children it's always for the best interest to keep them away to gambling.
I believe monitoring of our kids is an important thing for every responsible parents especially in this modern age of social media and technological advancements. Children now have access to so many information which me and you do not. They now have more thinking power more than we used to have in the past. They assimilate more than we do. They’re level of curiosity and intuitiveness is second to none. They’re are always inquisitive about what is around them and always ask questions severally.
If you do not control the level of information your kids are exposed to, you will be surprised at the level of information they’re field with being it a positive or negative one. The same thing applies to gambling. When a kid gets exposed to gambling from a younger age, the likelihood of him developing an urge and psychological attachment to it is high hence the risk factor behind it. In a nutshell, if you have kids who are growing up with access to their mobile phones, try and regulate the access to the information they key into.
