Online gambling will impact youth addictions [UPDATED]
Published 9:38am Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Updated 11:39am Wednesday, January 30, 2013The youth gambling addiction in this country will be a serious problem when states legalize, license and tax Internet gambling. Gambling addiction doesn’t only affect money it also affects the mind.
Once gambling addiction gets a grip on a child’s mind the child will not understand what is happening to them and they will not know how to cope with the problem.
It is important for adults to understand what gambling addiction and the part the gambling industry plays in the addiction is all about if they are to protect the children.
The Internet has many stories written by addiction professionals, journalists and gamblers that will help adults understand the problem and how to control it.
Learning is a lifelong experience that begins at home.
