The billion-dollar gambling industry is targeting our children and grandchildren on iPhones and video games, warns Jeanne Seaver. Jeanne is the founder of Moms Against Gambling, and having come from a childhood with addicted parents, she knows the dangers and devastation of what any addiction can do to a family. Jeanne is a child advocate and works to educate people on the hazards of what commercialized gambling is doing not just to adults, but also to children. One in five gambling addicts will attempt suicide and that tragic statistic is just one of many dark sides of what gambling does to a person. Jeanne is working to help kids run from the allure of gambling and focus on achieving greater things in life.
