I am a 15 year old in Illinois. Recently, my parents and I got into a minor disagreement. It resulted in them physically taking my laptop that i have spent the past year saving up for. At the moment, it is being kept at a neighbor's house until they feel like giving it back. I have tried to get it back for a little over a week, but they still won't even tell me what I need to do to get it back.
Here is my question:
Is this legal? I know they are not legally obligated to provide me with the electricity or internet, but can they actually take my property? This laptop has files on it that I need to pass my classes in school! Aren't they at least required to give me those files?
