Question: Could my mom take away something i bought with my own money and not give it back?

Answer: What did you buy? It is technically yours, however, if you bought something that you are not old enough to have, or that has a parental warning on it, and your mother doesn't want you to listen, or watch it then she can keep it. Remember that your Mother has a legal responsibility to provide for your safety and well-being until you become an adult. So, your Mother has the authority to take things away from you that she believes will harm your safety and/or well-being.

i think the law should be changed because, if you bought it, and your parents tookiit away from you, they should have to give you your money back because that is basically stealing.
