I just want to know if it is legal for a parent to take their child's money away from them, either as a punishment or just to get it.
If you're a minor, I would think everything concerning you falls under the parents pervue/jurisdiction....they are ultimately responsible for you and your actions....if you damage your neighbors car with a hammer, who pays ? $$....the parents....I suppose if you wanted to pursue a police report on the matter, you could, but I don't know if you could prevail if pressed....probably make matters much worse (heighten resentment/ill feelings).....I hope all of you will work together to improve your home environment, good luck.
No, they can't but they will use guilt to get you to "loan" it if you dont want your parents to touch your money, just open a bank account and hide your card
Personally, h*ll no! If you earned it, it is so yours
