I agree completely. The phone wasn't his. He took it. That's theft. He should have thought a little more about how to punish his daughter and remain within the law.

Yes, absolutely!

Not always easy with split parenting - - but, laws are laws. He took property that was not his.

I know about staying in touch with a teenager via her phone. I'd be pissed too. The dad had no right. Basically he cut off contact between the mother and daughter.

Really! The father has equal rights in the upbringing of his child. If said phone posed a problem, he should have dealt with it like he did - with the exception of the phone itself.

NO, he doesn't. I doubt he has custody.

He can try to work with the mom, but he can not steal her property.

My granddaughter's father is verbally abusive. Her phone is her lifeline if things get too bad.

There is no way in Hell we would allow him to take her phone. By doing so, he cuts communication to her custodial parent. That is never OK.

Ummm no custody?

Taking a phone away from anyone who wants to phone 911, for example, is a felony in most states.

Taking a phone away from a tardy/unrulely/disrepectful teen is another thing.

but from your response, your kid, an assumption, has many many issues. You seem to be projecting your own horrible experience with this one.

Good luck to you and your own.

The phone is the property of the mother.

You want to ignore law.

You want to ignore the rights of a parent....

Good luck in your struggles. Thank you.

Been there, done that --- on third generation now.

You?

If the mother paid for the phone, then the mother owns the phone ...not the daughter, not the father. If, at the mother's request, the father did not return the phone to the legal owner of the phone (the mother), then that is absolutely theft.

However, I do agree with the father's actions and am glad to see that he took this to trial and got the case tossed.

No, she bought the phone and "gave" it to her daughter.
It was the Daughter's phone

Who's name is on the contract?

A minor owns nothing.

That's why the phone belongs to the mom.

He wasn't arrested for taking his daughter's phone. He was probably initially arrested for being belligerent with police and refusing to follow their instructions.

He refused to return property that did not belong to him.

That's called theft.

So i take it then you have no issue with police and courts getting involved in parenting ?...The mother is using the law as a tool to get back at the girls father....that is a low act and the copper that is enabling her is just as bad

I love the excuses.

The father stole the phone. He refused to return property that he did not own.

The complications of split parenting is not relevant.

Absolute rubbish, the father was disciplining the child...(you know something that is lacking in the current world), and he is being punished for it by the authorities no less....

The mother is so pathetic she needs to use her cop boyfriend as a tool against her ex, and you are condoning that behavior
