Can you steal from yourself?

I know it maybe sound crazy

I am a Pole, recently I read a funny story, it was in the press release, somewhere in the countryside, the kid had quarreled with his mother, the punishment for wanting to sell his scooter, which he earned his own work, and was registered in his name.

In Polish law, however, remains the legal guardian of a minor disposal of assets until it reaches the 18 years, ie until the age of majority.

The case was reported by the mother of the boy to the police, and the police suspect that the boy himself robbed, to prevent his mother selling his moped.

I wonder how law in other countries say about such things

That is an awful law... so is it due to the technicalities that theft can be fabricated? Lying is, I assume, not illegal... but that mother should get her comeuppance...

It depends on the capacity in which to interrogate this kid as a victim or as a suspect, because in the latter case, the boy can not lie, it is written in our Polish constitution.

Because you can treat it as if he robbed his own mother, even though this was his moped because his mother is the legal disposition of his property.

But if he was questioned as a victim of theft and lying, that it could be treated as perjury.

Or so I understand our Polish law, I am not a lawyer but is interested in law

Our Polish law is sucks , like Kafka's The Trial

His mother wanted to punish him for bad grades in school, I was reminded of this when I read about a similar case but in another country.

Procrastination is the thief of time --- Ben Franklin. By procrastination one may cost him/her self time that will never ever be recovered. Time is all we really have. It is more valuable than money.

What do you mean?
His mother wanted to take him something that he earned his own hard work.

If her earned the money to pay for the thing, then he should by all rights be able to do whatever he wants to with it, as it is his. If his mother had taken the vehicle and sold it, it would be theft, and selling stolen property, or the local equivalents thereof here. --Is this law federal Polish law, or is it state/county/oblast/district, etc, (I have no idea how Poland subdivides it's territory) law?

At any rate however, it should be repealed.

It seems that here in Poland, the parents of a minor have all the assets of a minor until the age of majority.

To an extent, if you're living in your parent's home, they do have some right to dictate how you live because they're paying the bills, but there's a limit.

If my bikes in the way, for example, my property or not, bought with my own money or not, I should pack it away in the shed if asked.

But outright confiscating something I own off of me definitely shouldn't be allowed.

No; to steal something means to deprive someone of a possession. It is thus an oxymoron to assume that one can steal from oneself.

From Merriam-Webster: "to take (something that does not belong to you) in a way that is wrong or illegal.."
