a little use expecting help from the multi-billion dollar. industry insider bennett's been hearing from struggling addicts. it's like a kidney the famous drink and drugs can be renamed ronald's a compulsive gambler he started betting when he was fifteen and couldn't stop for fifty years his addictions left him with nothing is ago inherent to life and order money and. so much was the missing lost in one day when i was regularly until. i got to the night when you want to know if you won games we wanted to celebrate it's a game or if you lose you want to get your money back it's not what we know losing . what can you just walk away once you put on a compulsive gambler and. lost

every penny or had ronald pawned his grandfather's war medals and stole from his own family staging pay so he can gamble more but even when loan sharks held a gun to his head he still couldn't stop gambling. no money back. you know and the safe thing was that i did not pioneer a name but the sickness of morehead told me but now you can go out and gamble to morrow with that money we no money money. and so i met for dinner on the money for one the money when we think little you know it took five prison terms two divorces and being shunned by his family for ronald to finally manage to walk away he hasn't gambled for three years but for the gambling industry addictions like his main profit today one in ten seventeen year olds is a risk of developing the same dangerous compulsion a shocking statistic from

a leaked regulators report the industry tried to silence so you have a gambling reg reg regulator which is relatively feeble which is in bed with the gambling industry which isn't in the slightest degree interested in the prevention of gambling harm and there's the rub britain's one of the few countries in the developed world that actually allows children to gamble and it's in places like this one actually there's film inside but even kids are allowed to play on the arcade machines in there with a jackpot of up to five pounds johns just eighteen and has already been gambling for four years first scratch cards then the lottery now online poker gets it's a win you. love that. feeling if you get them out if you. make a grand way to get money for women's games share back in syria. go sister.

soldiers rescue efforts are underway with reports claiming that some bodies have been recovered the area is on the northern tip of the divided kashmir region claimed by both india and pakistan and known as the world's highest battlefield. security forces fired tear gas and water cannons at a crowd of people on friday it's only just become known because events are currently difficult to verify in the country thousands were marching in support of a human rights activist who is serving a life sentence for taking part in anti-government uprising last year the man has been on a hunger strike for two months now and is being treated in a military hospital. gunmen loyal to yemen's ousted president have shut down the country's main airport threatening to shoot down planes seize came after two military chiefs close to the former leader were fired they were suffocating gunmen

launched attacks against government sites suicide missions targeting security forces have intensified since president hadi took office in february following a year of protests against the former regime. the us is the only country in the world that jails young offenders for life without parole because it treats them as adults for their crimes it's worse for the conditions treatment and abuse they face behind bars and lose all reports it causes others who do get released to be stuck in a cycle of reoffending. authorities in western pennsylvania have charged eleven year old jordan brown as an adult the boys will have a line at trial together in adult court the length of his sentence is also the length of his life they're not old enough to drive drink or vote but in america kids as young as seven years old can be tried as adults when you hold a youth icon of will the same manner and passion in which you hold an adult that's

just not right and it's not there michael can't knows what it's like to be a kid locked up in an adult prison you never know what one of my daughters and i do to you so you need to be feeling like what's going to happen to me he was locked up for the first time when he was twelve years old here at ok all juvenile correctional facility in that wasn't and there was a design it's a rehabilitation it was designed for punishment you know having to run again and is used. for. a life that like most kids that serve time as a juvenile in the u.s. he got into trouble again at seventeen he was charged with armed robbery as an adult he says for a kid being in an adult prison is a constant struggle to survive they know when you come off the bus and you don't know to. sort of pull you in a reality trying to get a favorite you find a sexual act you know it in you if they come out you know if someone's. person he was spared from sexual abuse but many kids aren't so lucky in fact one in five

victims of sexual violence in jails and prisons are under the age of eighteen and don't facilities are thirty six times more likely to commit suicide than those in the juvenile system on any given day in america ten thousand children are held in adult jails and prisons most of them have never been convicted of a crime and kids are fair game for solitary confinement cam says for five months he's spent twenty three and a half hours per day locked up alone i kind of went crazy there. because i was going to say we're not going to do critics slam the practice of putting kids in adult jails as cruel and unusual punishment or less capable of understanding the consequences of their behavior their development is incomplete and that's why the supreme court struck down the death penalty for juveniles in two thousand and five but today the united states is the only country that sentences kids to life without

parole it was viewed as a substitute to the ultimate penalty there are now twenty five hundred inmates that were sentenced to die in jail as children this is the american phenomenon in which we tend to believe that harsher the penalties the greater the public safety payoff kids should instead be rehabilitated says lubell that's the focus on washington d.c. as newly opened new beginnings now walking into a classroom at new beginnings is much different from walking into a classroom at other given i'll detention facilities that this is considered to be a model facility it's a system based on rewards rather than punishment and experts say that this system is much more effective at rehabilitating you to become productive members of society but unfortunately places like this and the u.s. are rare here kids are given a second chance but in most prisons throughout the country remain america's forgotten children hope for the future gone at an early age in washington liz wahl
