Is it right my mom took all my money out of my wallet without asking for no reason?

Question

I had over $300 from working, and being given from my grandparents. (Im 14) I dont think it is right at all. Could i call the police if they wont give it back to me? (ive been asking for it back for an hour n she wont give it back) It is my pocket change now i have no money for myself.

No she doesnt smoke, and its not a paycheck its cash

My wallet was all the way at the bottom of my drawyer, it was like a secret wallet

No were not poor were upper class she did it just to spite me

Answer 1

No, that's not right at all - that's really childish and rude of her. That's not her money and it is not her right to be going through your drawers to look for it. You have every right to be pissed. I would be. How would she like it if you got in her private stuff to steal money from her wallet? Did she actually take the money and spend it or are you unsure? Either way, she shouldn't have done it without your knowledge. It really doesn't matter if she's your mom or not - what she did was stealing, and it wasn't right of her. If you did that to her she would have said that you caused her not to trust you. Since she stole from you, are you not supposed to trust her now?

Now, I am a parent and I would never, ever take money from my child without permission, just like I would never want her to take money from me without my permission.

I'm sorry about everything - maybe she has a reason - who knows what she's thinking. You try to have a good night. I hope everything works out for you!

Answer 2

Of course it's not right! However, be really, really sure that she did it before you accuse her or get angry at her. If you know that she did it, or if she admits it, then you need to discuss it with her.......find out her reasons........then decide what to do. You can always go to your grandparents and ask them for help, if your Mom proves unreasonable. No, unless you are an adult, you can't go to the police, because your Mom pretty much "owns" you, and everything that is yours, until you are 18. Maybe if you are 18 or more the police will help you, but I doubt it. Stay cool, no matter what you do. It will all turn out OK, I think. Good luck.

Answer 3

thats wrong, shes not suppost to do that. Just because your under-age, does not mean she can take your money. Tell your grandparents (they'll probably knock some sense into her) Or tell the police. Even if they cant arrest her or anything, they can atleast mediate a conversation or something, and having cops present there, will probably intimidate her to give you the money back!

Answer 4

since she is your mom i guess she thinks she has the right to take your money, but she is not showing you respect or giving you the example so she can't really expect that from you, however that wouldn't make it right for you to do the same thing. just beware from now on and keep a mental note so that you don't do the same thing to your children. if things aren't good between you two move out with your dad, uncle or the next best option for you. the fact that she won't give it back after requested tells a lot about your mom, parents are supposed to give not take from their children.

Answer 5

if its cash, then she has every right, as long as you are under 18. it has to do with parents/guardians are allowed 'dictatorship' rules over their kids. if you call the cops, they will laugh it off. even though its your money which you worked hard for, they are entitled 100% of it. trust me.

that being said, you need to confront her and get the money back, either through asking nicely or via shrewd tactics.

and from here on out, you better hide your wallet in a safer, better place.

Answer 6

and you've never taken money without asking? kinda the pot calling the kettle black, don't you think?

number one, at 14, i hope that the only work you're doing is babysitting b/c otherwise it's illegal...second of all, why leave your money in your wallet? c'mon, have some sense and hide it, duh!

if you go to the cops, you really think they'll believe you? chuck it up to learning the hard way and make sure you get evidence of your money from now on...

your mom sucks, by the way...what mother steals from their child?

Answer 7

Your a minor, you have no rights.

If you mom takes your money.. too bad.

I don't think she is teaching you anything... but possibly you have just been blowing your money on junk rather then plan for the future.

If this is why she took the $ then I recommend the folowing savings plan: 30% long term investment-Bonds & stocks for college, 30% short term investment-savings acount college-car-cloths, 10% tithing and 30 you spend how ever you want-have fun you earned it.

You forgot your most important alie, your dad... DAAAAADDDDYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!

Answer 8

She is not doing the right thing as a parent. Yes, you could sue her in small claims court and win. You should talk to your grandparents and tell them what happened. I hope they can help you. You should have your own bank account,also. This is just terrible and sad, too.

Answer 9

no i don't think it right for your mum to take your money but perharps she has a motive for taking the money.perharps you should calm down be patient and really ask her why she took the money also find out from her if you have really done anything wrong to have the money taken from you or perharps she needs the money but does not feel it is necessary to ask.be patient and try again.

Answer 10

Yes, you can call the police, but you will REALLY piss her off if you do. You could also call Children's protective services, but then again, she will be pissed off.

Could she be worried you will run away? Why did you have so much cash in your purse? Why was it not in the bank? Maybe she is worried you will get mugged?
