Today, after a little detective work, I found out the money that recently went missing from my college fund was transferred by my mother, to her own account. She claims it's to pay a parking ticket. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I didn't know they fined people over $3,500 for a parking violation. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML
Today, I learned that my daughter pocketed the money I'd paid so she could go to college. FML
Today, I got a $60 parking ticket for not paying the $2.50 pay-to-park fee. I checked my bank records, which proved that I'd paid the fee, for the correct space too. The problem is the fine is too small to contest in traffic court. FML
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. FML
Today, I got a ticket for "suspicious driving" because my total shit of a mother kept tugging on the wheel to annoy me, and I still had to pay it. FML
Today, I found out my mother drives my car. I was okay with it; I don't use it all the time and she's my mother. However, I was not okay with the multiple speeding tickets that came through in the post. "You're the registered keeper, so why should I pay?" FML
Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML

Argh, your life sucks because that's money that's been dedicated to you but does not necessarily belong to you and your mom, however morally wrong, is actually her money and it would be rude to challenge her for using what's hers but that suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.... Unless that money actually was your money in which there's no moral confusion, that's wrong. And that sucks too. And you should be able to get some help with that.

If she parked in a fire zone, then yes.

Depending on the way your college fund is set up, your mom could get in massive legal trouble for taking that money out and using it. I have a college fund and while I can take money out whenever I want, I have to be able to prove at tax time that all of the money was used for tuition, books, etc. If you can't prove that, the IRS can go after you, and it's not fun. Sorry your mom stole from you OP! Try to get the account put in your name only so she can't access it!

Okay. To set this straight. If this was a college fund not funded by a parent then it’s a protected account and parents can’t just mice money at will. Courts are involved. If it’s a shared bank account then mom has as much rights as the child to do what they wish EXCEPT the child can’t touch the money without a parents permission. So here’s to hoping it was the first type and OP can get the funds back!
