<p>*I am tired of the argument of “i bought it therefore its mine and i can do what i want with it”. It reminds me of the case where a mom gave an iPhone to her son for xmas that came with a contract made by herself in which it said that she had to know the password, and he had to return it to her at 7:30 every night. *</p>
<p>Well it depends on the age of the child. when parents buy things for minors, they can set the rules for those items.</p>
<p>7:30 is a bit early for a high schooler, but maybe that child has had some issues…poor grades, too much texting, etc.</p>
<p>many parents buy cars for their kids when they’re in HS. We did. Yet, our kids knew that they couldn’t just go out whenever they wanted, and they still had a curfew.</p>
