Parents confiscated gadgets and can't find them!

game systems = car

Am I missing something here?

Income based normalisation.

Take away what they hold dear or what they use as entertainment.

My father would confiscate/sell my things (DVD player, games, money) no matter what. Fucking druggie asshole was verbally abusive too.

What if what they hold dear is their own son?

Well... in that case...

Let them know you will remember to forget about them when they are old and sick.

If they don't care to show respect for you...

I stopped caring and talking to my parents years ago and yet still live with them.

Do you pay the bills?

Nope. But I'm still underage so they kinda have to let me live with them. XD

But this is getting a tad off-topic.

I think his parents took his pc also.
so now he can't login to this forum. This is the reason why there's no update from him.

What I don't understand is how people think destroying school property is standing up to a bully.

I still cant find my translucent purple Gameboy colour from 15 years ago =( darn forgetful parents.

Most likely what Veho said.

Get a metal detector.

When it goes bonkers, either you found your stuff or you found a bomb.


Or maybe just a bunch of metal crap.

Now that this had been bumped for no reason I will make a stupid comment.

When I was a kid I was saving money for a VGA card and monitor.
Back in the day I had a PC with a Hercules monochrome video card. That shit didn't run most games.
So I had saved up to the moment $350 (in ~1990, so it's like $650 in today dollars, computer parts were expensive). I wanted to play Monkey Island 2, Doom and all the new shit.
Well, one day my parents told me they had to borrow my savings. Almost 25 years ago. Never returned it. A mere $350 that for a kid is a lot, but for them just a couple of bucks. Damn assholes.
Lesson learned: don't blindly trust family, they are backstabbers. And also, regret much?

Why is everyone convinced the parents are such scumbags that they would sell off their own children's possessions

Is this speaking from personal experience or just a theory?

I like how everyone just naturally takes this kid's side of the story and that he's just an innocent victim of bullying and vindictive parents.

More likely that he's out of control (destroyed someone's locker? Which, by the way, belongs to the school) and refuses to take responsibility for his actions.

I'm not taking sides here but the parents are equally at fault for losing possession or selling off the kids valuables. No one here is a winner.
