Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
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 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 frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML
Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML
Today, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. FML

This also happened to me. My mom opened a savings account for me when I was a baby and I got stock and bonds from my family members and my grandparents left me money when they died. I had over $100,000 in there and when I got accepted to college I went to the bank to find the account at 0 and I was told because my mom opened the account for me even though I was over 18 I was out of luck. I couldn't even look at the account without a court order.

It's not that bad if it's only $27.17

What the OP is saying is that his bank account had $27 in it AFTER his parents stole his money. As in, they took all but $27, I'd assume.

If you're a minor technically that's their money and they can do what they want with it.

Technically it's OP's money if they're the one that put it in there. Being a minor has Nothing to do with your parents taking your money. Stealing is stealing.

I still dont get all these FMLs about parents stealing money from their children bank accounts, I mean, how the hell do they have access to it?
