Is it illegal to take away your child’s phone?
Is it illegal to take away your child’s phone?If your child is under 18 and the parent paid for the phone, then no, it’s not illegal.If the child paid for the phone him/herself, then the kid might have a case for petty larceny against the parent. But it’s doubtful anything would happen. If the police even bothered to respond, they’d just tell the parent to give the phone back and be proud that the kid is responsible enough to pay for his/her own phone.If the “child” is over 18, then he/she is an adult and yes, it’s illegal to steal a phone from an adult, provided the adult paid for the phone or received it as a gift.
Is it illegal/unfair for a parent to take away their child's belongings that the child had bought? What is your opinion?
It’s a crime to take away someone’s properties without consent. If you bought them yourself, they are yours and your parents have no right to take them. On the other hand, if you bought them with money your parents gave you, they aren’t yours. I have a job, so when I buy things for myself, they are 100% mine because I have a legitimate job and earned the money myself.If you get, let’s say 20 USD a week just to save for something, or to buy a weekly treat at the end of the week or something, that money still isn’t yours. Even if you did clean your room for it, or took out the trash, that money is still not yours. Cleaning your room and taking out the trash is normal things people are supposed to be doing when they live somewhere, some parents just decided to reward their children because then they won’t rush to finish the job, but actually, do it properly.As long are you’re under 18-years-old and you don’t buy things with money you’ve earned from a real part-time or full-time job, the money isn’t yours and your parents have all rights to take away whatever you bought with it. If you’re over 18-years-old, and your parents give you money, that money is now yours. When we are children parents own everything we own, because we can’t give consent, sometimes we make bad decisions and we don’t always know when to stop playing a game etc. When we turn 18 y/o, were considered an adult and we also automatically own everything we’ve been given. You wouldn’t confiscate your friend's phone if they bought it with money you gave them for their birthday, right? Well, you can’t do that to your child after they turn 18 y/o either because they are their own person now and are capable of making own rules.But, we need to think as our parents as our guardians. If you did buy a phone with your own money, but you can’t control how much time you spend on it and you don’t sleep enough or forget doing your homework because of it, they have all rights to take it away, because they are supposed to do so. their job as a parent is to stop you from hurting yourself and developing bad habits. If you’re over 18 y/o and live at your parent's house, I’m sorry, but you have to follow their rules. If you don’t want to you can move out.
Legal question about children and their own bedroom?
IMy fiance wons a small home and we were going to wait until he sells to get married since I have two children and we wanted to give them each their own room. He no longer wants to wait, until the house sells, so one child may have to sleep on a cot in our room or on the living room coach. Is this illegal for a child not to have their own room? I am concerned because I have sole custody of my children and I dont want to jepordise that in any way.
Is it illegal to put soap in a child's mouth?
A friend of mine, who just moved here from Canada, said that it's illegal there to punish little kids by putting soap their mouths. I know tons of people who do it here in the states, but I was just wondering if anyone had heard of it being illegal here.

Has mankind ever been collectively wrong about child raising?
As an educator, I see our society, at least here in the United States, making some huge mistakes. Many parents seem to be naively thinking that as long as a child is not making a fuss, everything is okay. If a nine year old is alone and quiet in his bedroom for a three hour stretch, that doesn’t necessarily mean all is well and good. It probably means that electronics have taken the place of human interaction.I just read the answers thus far. Several people stated that it is wrong to have a “one size fits all” approach to raising children. Children do have different personalities and needs, but some standards remain. In the educational world, we use the phrase “firm, fair and consistent”. It is easier said than done, for sure. But if children see adults being firm (do what you say, say what you’ll do), fair (not cruel) and consistent, they do learn to follow society’s rules.Children need boundaries no matter what their talent, personality or intelligence. They also need to know that someone cares about them enough to teach them how to do chores. They need routines and predictability, but also opportunities to explore and learn about the world around them.Most of all, they need human interaction. I fear that this is the mistake that our current society is collectively making.
Can I take my foster child for a vacation out of state?
Yes and please do. DON'T LEAVE the kids in respite care when you go away on vacation. It is like being dumped again...it effects them tremendously. Think about how you would feel being dumped off at another family, while the one you are supposedly living with goes away for fun...not cool.
Is it legal for someone to date their foster sibling?
It is not illegal to date anyone who is not a close blood relative. However, if you are both under the age of consent and if you both live in the same foster home, it would be illegal for your foster parents to let you two carry on. Each one of you would be moved to a separate foster home.
