thats not entirely accurate, anon. if the kid bought it using his own money (allowance, earned income, gifts, etc.), its generally seen as his property, even in the land of the free. parents still have authority over minors, but claiming full ownership of everything a child has is more of a gray area, legally and ethically. youre also underestimating how something like this could push a kid further into rebellion. might wanna think twice about that approach.
