is my parent legally allowed to restrict me from every internet access when my mom and dad aren’t allowing me to use my laptop or iPhone for using my internet browser because i won’t shower even though i have done most of my homework she still restricts pretty much everything on my phone, laptop, and even hid MY pc that they got me for Christmas. they’ve also locked my meta quest * that I payed for with earned money. This has continued for 3 months for the restrictions on my iphone. The pc has been gone for 3 months too. The laptop i have had for VERY limited homework use.
Hey Richard! Parents generally have the legal right to set rules and restrictions for minors, including internet access, as part of their responsibility to ensure your well-being and safety. However, if you believe their actions are overly restrictive or unreasonable, you might want to discuss your feelings with them or seek support from a trusted adult or school counselor.
