Has the school systems educated themselves to guarantee that
gambling is equal to arts and crafts?

compensate the family for the negative affects on their
teenager?
3.
Will the school system cover all medical expenses if needed?
4.
Should the post prom committee be legally responsible if just one
student becomes addicted to gambling?
5.
What does the law state?
6.
What’s happening to our children’s future?
7.
How I can tell my kid he can’t go when all his friends are going?
8.
Is there something wrong with me, because I disagree with the school
system?
9.
How can I write a letter to the school board when my son may find
out it was me objecting to the gambling
event?
As a parent when you find out it’s your child who has the
gambling addiction, what are you going to do? From a
majority of the emails I receive, parents question and ask.
“How did this happen to my teenager? I am a good parent.”
Just as you have to take the time to talk to your children
about, protective sex, drugs and alcohol you now have to
explain the effects of gambling.
Teenagers who grow up in a house where their parents are
active gamblers are more likely to gamble too. A school
event puts a stamp of approval on gambling.
