We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make confiscation of property by parents or guardians illegal (within reason)
Make the confiscation or destruction of property that belongs to a child by their parents or legal guardian illegal with the following exemptions:
1: The item is either illegal or being used illegally.
2: The item is not appropriate or they are using the item to access inappropriate content.
More details
As I am sure all of us have experienced as a child, parents have confiscated or even destroyed your property unfairly. This is not fair on the child as it belongs to them and just because they are of a younger age does not mean they are not entitled to the same property rights as adults.
