#unless that money is in a trust or smth. in any other situation a minor doesnt even have legal right to their own money or posessions.

very sincerely believe that a lot of modern day issues are linked in part to the fact that children and adolescents are treated as second class citizens, without the respect, legal protection, and autonomy they deserve. just for example in regards to cutting off trans youths access to social and medical support is a blatant red flag to the fact that the bodily and decisive autonomy of minors is not respected.

#children for the most part do not have respected rights! it is 100% legal for a parent/guardian to take objects or money from their child. #unless that money is in a trust or smth. in any other situation a minor doesnt even have legal right to their own money or posessions. #and god medical/bodily autonomy for children is so sick i can barely believe it. with vaccines thats different but like. errrgh. #i was watching a documentary for asl class abt the cochlear implant #and its kind of deranged how this is just like a surgery thats allowed to be done on very young children.
