Don't try to stop them buying scratch cards. Get so busy with your own life that you have no time to worry about other people's lives.
Good luck.

@dragonight90 What makes you think they have a problem? Is buying scratch cards interfering in their lives or do you just not like them buying them?
@philip-cares What advice is that? To just ignore his parent’s potential problem. This is a site for those struggling with gambling or concern for others. Since when was turning a blind eye ever been good advice?Â
