How much are they charging for the silver u/Judedadude998? Your first step is to have the pawn shop owner set them aside, second step is to put down a deposit so they know you're serious (get a written receipt for proof of this). I'm willing to contribute for the deposit so you can get your precious memories back. Once you turn 18, cut them out and never look back. They see you as nothing more than a paycheck.

Also I highly recommend considering reporting the coins as stolen to the police. They may or may not be able to help you recover the coins, but having the paper trail will help you when you go to leave and they try to keep you under their thumb. You gave them the coins under the assumption you would get them back; them not doing so makes this theft.

You do realize living in a home is significantly better than being literally homeless right? OP needs to cut all ties as fast as he can but doing it with zero preparation is just going to land him on the streets. But let reddit be reddit in giving utterly terrible advice

Sounds like it's time to break some fingers

Honestly at this point you’re just defending narcissistic manipulation by an abuser and conflating it equally to her being uncomfy about him doing the polyamory openly in front of her, which is stupid. At this point he could beat her, And you’d conflate it to her being upset about it, and say she’s being a professional victim. You’re just sus lol

OP, get out, get a job and remember this when they come to you for money.

I get that, too. I meant to collect new ones to honor that time.

They’re just going to keep using him as a paycheck anyway, according to OP’s other comments. He’s not allowed by his parents to get a job since they use him for social security income, and I bet you anything that they’re going to destroy his credit by opening cards under his name.

There’s no ideal solution here, either he bears with the abuse (which this absolutely is) until he’s a legal adult or he starts standing up for himself.

Thwow him to de fwow!!

You're born to blood, nobody picks blood. You do choose your own family though, I firmly believe that. Those assholes calling themselves your parents may be blood, but family doesn't do each other like that.

I hope you get out soon, good luck OP.

Lmfao no kiddo. I'm not even defending what either of them did. In my original response to this I called them both out for what they are and have done. I am simply pointing out your overreaction. Which is exactly what you are doing. You are a career victim. Stop finding victims hood in everything.

Unfortunately from a legal standpoint, this would be a civil case. He willingly gave the coins to his parents, even if it was under false pretenses. So for example, if I ask to borrow your car to go around the block and get permission, but really I drive to the next town over, you can't report the car stolen. I have the keys, and gained possession legally. That removes it from police hands, and moves it into courts jurisdiction.

I bet he is just scared I will get addicted lol, and my brother isn’t related to my dad, only my mom, so he really doesn’t give a crap about what he is doing now.

That sounds great but he's still going to have to live with his parents. If he's underage, then it's a recipe for getting kicked out of the house at an early age.

I swear reddit loves doing this and telling people to file labor abuse claims with the state.

Yeah I've definitely told...probably too many past and present coworkers to suck my dick. I don't have one, but yeah

almost more than military too

The longer you wait, the less silver you'll be able to recover.

Shit I’ll say worse to the sautée station twice before the dinner rush hits

No but they can make his life miserable

Yeah, kinda lol

I mean unless this is your food rep’s first stop on his first day on the job, I’m sure he’s heard worse. Unless my standards are askew from years of Florida restaurants

Ok, reddit. Let's rescue judedadudes silver. Who's in? Two life lessons here. Parents are sometimes terrible people, and strangers can be wonderfully kind.
