So, schools are, no longer safe then??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The police found, that the online gambling ring had, infiltrated into the school campuses, and the gambling rings would zoom in on the students who are enrolled in the private, high-end high schools, and targeted those students from richer, second generation well-to-do families as lambs waiting to be, slaughtered, the parents advised that these cases should be handled as organized crimes.
The officers from the youth squad pointed out, that for the online gambling ring to work, all is needed is a cell phone or a computer, plus, the students only needed one thousand to two thousand dollars, to start gambling, making it, more than affordable, and available to the students. There were those who were, curious who’d, tried, and they were able to realize, how deep they were already in, they’re the ones, who’d, illed off the possibilities, the opportunities of their own lives in the future. The students’ getting involved in gambling, other than being driven by their own curiosities, the will to win, and, it’s also, greed that’s, at work, wanting, to win big, by placing the least amounts of bets.
The actor, Chen’s son was, involved in gambling in his high school years, was involved in gang related activities back in his high school years, to act as a recruit to his peers to get involved, as a debt collector, which led to his future path of crimes of robbing a place with his group.
The high school student from Taichung, He, two years ago, had accumulated over tens of thousands of online gambling debts, believed that his life was over, he’d, burned charcoal and committed suicide in his own home; last October a travel agency in Chiayi was vandalized, because the C.E.O., Dai’s son accumulated up the debts from an online gambling ring.
Dai stated, that currently, the online gambling ring had, become organized and infiltrated into the school campuses, selected the students from well-to-do backgrounds, at first, they’d, enticed the students with small amounts of winnings, after the students were, trapped too deeply, the organized gambling rings started, controlling the games, and the students started losing big, to even up to millions of dollars at a time. There were a ton of his friends’ children who got into trouble, “my son’s incident was only, the tip of the iceberg”, but, a lot of the parents would just, pay up the debts, and, be silent about the matter.
Dai said, as the students weren’t able to pay the millions of dollars owed to the gambling rings, the organized criminal group demanded that they be a part of the gangs, had the sell the illegal substances in the schools they attended, shifting from gambling, to drug abusing and drug trafficking, causing even more troubles for the society, if these students can’t be charged for gambling, then, the students should be prosecuted on organized crimes.
So, you see, how easily it is, to get trapped, and, these leaders of these gambling rings, targeted the teens especially, because they’re still learning, still quite young, with absolutely NO way of gaining the foresights of their own lives, and by the time these students realized that they were, in too deep, they’d, needed their mommies and daddies, to bail them out, and, their daddies and mommies, usually do, and, these kids learned, ABSOLUTELY, N-O-T-H-I-N-G!
