A friends daughter is neglecting her children as she is addicted to fruit machines?

The question is “should her family be doing something about this” and trying to get her help or should they now refuse to give her more money. She is young and stupid, but at the rate she is going, the children will be taken off her.
I am sorry for calling one armed bandits “fruit machines” I suppose this is an old fashioned term

whats a fruit machine???
whats a fruit machine? if you think the children are not being taken care of tell the mother. if she does not listen call social services. good luck.
definitely and if it continues tell her your opinion and if nothing still happens report her to the local authority’s u can do this confidentially and its better for her children to be safe than anything else
It happens every-where a terrible addiction - she must get professional help and fast. The whole family will suffer if now - I have seen it happen.
Yeah- you gotta look out for those ‘fruit machines’…..
What??
call social services,
I would also like to know what fruit machines are.
This is a hard one as if her family step in and stop the money she could get herself in even more trouble, has she got a friend who could talk to her or if this does not work shock tactic inform social services they do not just come in a grab the children they now try and work with the parent this may be enough of a shock for her to realise that she could lose her children, just telling her this will not work she need to know from an official that this could really happen unless she changes.
I laughed out loud at this one. What exactly is a fruit machine and how does one get addicted to it?? LOL
Please….what is a fruit machine?
And if children are really being neglected…then say something. How would you feel if you did nothing and then something happened to one of them?
Good Luck !!!
Do you mean the gambling machines that have fruit as their “theme”?? Otherwise, this question makes no sense.
Well, she is going to have to learn. Sorry, but it seems like she isn’t going to work on her addiction until she gets a wake up call, and that could be it.
I personally think that the family should not be helping by giving money, and if things are that bad, they should take the children away to prevent social services becoming involved.
Seriously, what is a fruit machine?
Okay what is a fruit machine? Now if your friend’s daughter is neglecting her kids then you guys should sit her down and explain to her what could happen if she continues down this path. Show her stories of what has happened to other teens that have neglected their children, show her what happens to some of those kids too. Let her know that if she really cares for these kids that she should take care of them. You guys should also not help her out as much, if she just wants to pawn off the kids with you guys, tell her no. Good luck!
Yes… They should try and get her help and make sure that the kids are taken care of until she can overcome her gaming or gambling addiction.
Come on people snap out of it! Fruit machine = slot machine~
DUH!
I’m assuming a “fruit Machine” is a “one-armed bandit” and that she’s addicted to gambling.
If that’s the case, no way hould her family give her more money to supply her addiction. They can buy clothes/food/etc. for the kids and perhaps pay off her bills directly. But, then again, that’s enabling her addiction.
Get her into gambler’s annonymous.
Perhaps the kids would be better off with someone else. Just because someone is the biological parent, doesn’t mean that they’re what’s best for the kids.
First and foremost, If you are even slightly concerned about the children, the first thing you should do is talk to the girls family and voice your concerns, they should not give her any more money, and if they do, they are just as bad as she is by feeding her habit. The second thing you can do, is to get in touch with gamblers anon and seek their advice, if the worst comes to the worst, the children would be much better off in the care of the social services, they would put the children into foster care until the time comes when the mother can look after them for herself.
You are a good friend, do what you think is right, not what other people tell you to do,
My advice would be to quit giving her money and give her the phone number to get some help. Here is the number if it will help 1-800-BETS-OFF. The family can also call this number and they will help them to understand what their daughter is going through and give them suggestions on how to help her.
i feel 4 this girl i really do my partner is an arcade attendent and sees this problem every day of the week the best way to deal with the situation is 1st find out where she is playing then speak to the arcade assistant asking where u stand regarding helping her 2nd on site there is a leaflet with numbers on it they r fantastic and vey supportive also ask the arcade if they can limit her spending asshe is not going 2 stop straight away this is a habbit and remember this can not be treated with medication its support will power and strength u could also try giving her a weekly allowance she will sulk scream etc but remember why u r doing it she wil thank u in the end it just takes time. good luck
I can’t believe nobody appears to know what a fruit machine is !!!
If she’s neglecting her children, then you need to do something fast, whatever the addiction. Handling it through her family is a good way to tackle it, but they may need some help and professional advice. I would suggest they (or you) contact a support group like gamblers anonymous, to get some advice. Before she can tackle the problem, she needs to realise that she has a problem. Similarly, before the family can tackle the issue they also need to recognise that it is a problem. Getting her to keep a count of how much she is spending may be a good way to start.
fruit machines are slot machines and you all need to call social services
1. Call Gam-Anon - a program for family & friends of those addicted to gambling.
2. Cut off giving her money. That is enabling her addiction to continue & will perpetuate the problem.
3. If you and/or her family can, bring food to the house for the children. You may even need to take the children to your own house/s if you fear they are in danger and to give them some stability. But listen to the Gam-Anon people. They will know what to do & how to do it.
4. Good for you for being a concerned & responsible friend to this addict/sick person.
i think they should refuse to keep giving her money. if they want to help then should just buy things for her children but give the mother no money as its going to be to tempting. the lady in question needs a support group. She needs to realise her responsibilities as a parent and stop this before its too late.
the best thing you could do is phone social service’s they will act on the child’s behalf if she thinks they will take the child it might make Someone help her, you can do it anomalously.
someone from the family should go get her kids and leave her to drown herself in her own misery. if she wants to see her kids she must get help first.
once social services gets a hold of her kids you won’t see them again. EVER.
