Can a parent take away daughter's cell phone which was a gift from boyfriend?

If i do end up purchasing a prepaid cell for my girlfriend. But her parents are very strict. Can they take it away from her or control her with it, even though I bought it for her? Oh, and she's 18 yrs old.Can a parent take away daughter's cell phone which was a gift from boyfriend?
They can do whatever they want if she is living under their roof. But considering she is 18 and mature and has respect for her parents. Then they would have no reason to take it off her.


Furthermore, lets say for some reason they did take it off her. or not let her use it. They have no right over that phone. it belongs to you. Your girlfriend needs to tell them that IF it happens.Can a parent take away daughter's cell phone which was a gift from boyfriend?
If though she is of legal age, she still lives at home. As long as she lives under their roof, it is their rules (so to saying goes). Why don't U explain it to her parents, that this cell will cost them nothing and U have given it to her for ';safety reasons';, not just to be able to contact her whenever!! that is probably their concern, that the two of U will talk at weird hours, etc. So convince them that is not the case, and speak up for UR girlfriend. Good Luck..
I would say yeah. Doesn;t matter who bought it nor if she is 18. If she still resides under their roof and doesn;t pay some sort of rent. I would say its very possible.
as long as she is living under their roof then she has to go by the parents rules!!! sorry bout it!! although i dont think its right for the parents to take the phone if they arent paying for it...
They probably shouldn't because she is 18, but that doesn't mean that they won't if she still lives with them and they don't want her to have one.
if she's 18 she should get a job and buy her own cell phone.
No they can't. But they can kick her out if she doesn't follow their rules.
While she lives in their home, their rules apply.
Yes as long as she lives with them.
