Gambling addiction really is harrowing. It doesn’t get much attention, but it absolutely destroys families. Knew a girl at school whose dad had a gambling addiction, he lost their house and then obviously her mum left him and the entire family was just torn apart. And also didn’t have a home.
Proper gambling addicts will do anything to keep gambling, to the detriment of everyone around them
“Morgan’s Army, the charity she defrauded, was set up by the parents of Morgan Ridler, who died of cancer aged three. Blackwell targeted the charity — which supports south Wales families affected by childhood cancer — just months after Morgan’s death in June 2023. She was provided with £4,000 for treatment her daughter supposedly needed.
But Morgan’s mother Natalie Ridler, from Swansea, said: “It transpired that some years ago, a child of the individual had suffered with cancer and was treated at Noah’s Ark [children’s hospital] which was why they slipped through our initial checks. However, they had been in remission for some time with no active treatment, no terminal prognosis, and were in layman’s terms ‘all clear’.” She added that the fraudster had “preyed on us at one of our most vulnerable periods”.
This was AFTER she conned £4000 out of a kids cancer charity
