Gambling teenagers who participated in gambling were imprisoned
Protagonist:Tian Tian, 16 years old, a vocational school student, his father died when he was a child, and his mother depended on each other, and his mother relied on part-time work to grow up and study every day.
Case Introduction:
After Tiantian's father passed away, the burden of taking care of and raising Tiantian fell on his mother, who got up early and worked late. Every day I feel very sorry for my mother, in order to come out to work early to reduce my mother's burden, I was admitted to a vocational school. After going to school, he moved from his home to the school every day, and in order to subsidize the family, he also worked part-time as a waiter at a restaurant near the school. Sometimes I get tired every day and like to play online games to relax. Once when I was surfing the Internet, I happened to see an advertisement for "Macau XX Casino", and after clicking in it out of curiosity, I found that it was a gambling **. I tried to play a few games every day and made a lot of money, and suddenly felt that this was a good way to make money, and since then it has been out of control. At first, I won a few thousand dollars every day, but then I lost more and more. After losing money, he began to try his best to make money every day. One day, Tian Tian was doing odd jobs at a restaurant near the school, and when he saw the owner of the restaurant put the cash he collected in the drawer, he had a crooked mind and quietly took some of the cash in the drawer while the boss was not paying attention. Later, seeing that the boss didn't notice anything unusual, he became more and more bold and stole money from the drawer many times. But "the good times didn't last long", and when he committed theft again every day, he was bumped into by the boss on the spot. Under the questioning of the boss, Tian Tian admitted the fact of his theft. The boss immediately called the police, and the public security organs took Tian Tian to the police station, and Tian Tian truthfully confessed his theft. After investigation, the amount of theft reached more than 5,000 yuan every day. The public prosecution filed a public prosecution with the court on suspicion of theft.
Consequences of Bad Behavior:
After the court trial, it was found that there were multiple thefts every day, and the amount was relatively large, and his behavior constituted the crime of theft and should be punished. However, in view of the fact that Tian Tian was a minor at the time of the crime, had the circumstances of voluntarily surrendering, and pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, and his mother also returned all the stolen money to the restaurant after the case, the court finally ruled that Tian Tian committed the crime of theft and was sentenced to six months in prison and fined 2,000 yuan.
Readme:
During the trial of the case, he wrote a letter to the judge every day, he wrote: "I am very sorry for my mother, I wanted to earn some money through gambling to alleviate the financial difficulties of the family, but I didn't expect that after being contaminated with gambling, I lost myself, I wanted to win when I lost, and I wanted to win if I won, and then I started to steal." I remember the first time I succeeded in the theft, I was scared and excited, but the thought that the stolen money could make me turn over and win more money, I lost the ability to control myself. The days in the detention center were very hard, and I often thought that if I hadn't had the speculative psychology of making quick money, I wouldn't have fallen deeper and deeper. In the future, I will never touch gambling again, never violate the law again, I must study my skills hard, earn wealth through legitimate channels, and repay my mother. ”
Internet Police Reminder:
Nowadays, the emergence of online gambling platforms has led to a sharp increase in the number of gamblers, and the number of teenagers among them has also increased rapidly. Gambling is easy to make people addicted, especially minors have weak self-control, and are more likely to fall into it. Some unscrupulous merchants and criminals take advantage of this to lure minors to participate in gambling. Minors have no independent economy**, and after becoming addicted to gambling, some steal the family's money, and even do illegal and criminal things. Therefore, "participating in gambling" is included in the list of bad behaviors of minors. In this case, he committed theft for the purpose of gambling every day, and finally paid a heavy price. The pleasure of winning money from gambling is temporary, and the harm caused by gambling is quite huge, not only the loss of money, but also the destruction of studies and life, and even the regret of a lifetime. Therefore, minors should consciously resist gambling, and when they find it difficult to extricate themselves from gambling, they should seek help from parents and professionals in time to avoid falling deeper and deeper.
At the same time, the adolescent period is the best period for learning knowledge, minors should focus on their studies, only by laying a good foundation and learning skills, can they have a better foothold in society in the future, and do not miss the great opportunity to learn because of small losses.
