My friend gave me her ipods a month ago and her mom wants me to give them back.?

Any property owned by a minor is the responsibility of the parent. This means your friend could not legally give the property to you, because it legally belongs to her parents. Therefore, it must be returned.

Unless you paid for it, just give it back.

Give them back its the right thing to do

gcbtrading

sorry, give them back.
If you want to talk legality, neither your friend nor you are legally old enough to enter into a contract.
legally it's between her parents and yours

gl2director

Just give it back if you don't want any trouble... because if they REALLY want it back, it might get really serious.

Give them back. Technically they belong to the parent. Legally they don't belong to your friend because she is a minor. They weren't hers to give.

serenitysmojica1

talk with the parent see why they really want them back. if its a money issue ask if ou can make payments on the ipods for a discounted price since they are old and used.

give it back it will cause less problems in the future and let your friend know that you are very disappointed and to not give away things that are not hers in the future

Is your friendship worth more than an old ipod hopefully yes give it back

unfortunately at 17 you are still a child and your parents are responsible for everything you do and if you do not want them involved you need to give them back

Well, they don't "legally" belong to your friend or her mom so you can't use that as an argument, really.

I would talk to your friend and see what she thinks you should do. She is likely to know how serious her mom is, and if because of her mom, she too now wants you to give them back, I would just do it to avoid problems...

Then again, if you keep them and your friend doesn't care, only her mom...you probably can't get in any real trouble. But, if her mom is the crazy type, who knows what she will try to do...she could show up at your house screaming, get your parents involved (which you said you don't want) and it could end up being more of a mess than it's worth. You don't want this to cost you your friendship with your friend.

Talk to your friend and ask her what she wants you to do. If she doesn't care, try and let it go...but if the mom gets crazy, just give them back and tell your friend it's not worth the trouble so you'd rather give them back. If your friend says to please give them back, just do it...it's not worth dealing with a crazy parent.

Good luck!

Where do you live? In USA, you have to be 18 to be considered an adult. Therefore, your parents can get involved. Also, if a verbal contract is the only thing that acknowledges your exchange then you will probably have to give it back. Besides, it was never really yours in the first place and if you're a good friend, you will rather see him/her happy then enjoy it all for yourself. Remember, there is more to life then a piece of electronics.

Legally? The property of a minor is the property of the parents, so if her mum wants them back, you should save yourself the trouble and let her have them.

Personally? Why does she want them back? Has she fallen out with your friend or something? I'd call her mum and see if you can come to some sort of arrangement. Like, ask her if you can keep one and pay her a little for it each week - if it's the money she's bothered about. If it's personal, offer her the same deal, if she sees you're being reasonable about it, she may do the same.

Hope this helps! x

your music is on the ipod now. ask your friend to ask her mom how much she wants for the old used ipod. or better yet offer her 50 bucks for it. legally you have no claim to it but money almost always works. sorry but it's the truth

svgsmom

It's not really worth the hassle. Just give them back and steer clear of that "friend" in the future.

eatitupwormshero

You should give them back, technically they still belong to her mum. If her mum wants them back for any reason you should just do it. You don't lose anything - you didn't pay her for the ipod. Just save up and buy your own ipod.

Crickets_Mom

Better listen to your friend's mom so you can stay out of trouble. It doesn't matter how your friend came to own the ipod, what's legal in her case may not necessarily be that way for you.

Kimberley D

Cant you just give them back, I no you probably don't want to but it might be essayer for you in the long run, It might be cool if you got you`r self a lil job or something you can buy what you want then!

In the interest of keeping peace with your friend who is now been put in the middle I would give them back. If they were given to you in exchange for something else or for a service you performed that would be payment. But, if these were a gift from her mother, I could see how she might be upset that they were just given away. I pods are an expensive item for a lot of people, and she might have reasonably expected her daughter to ask her first if she wanted them returned. I see the point that they were the property of the person that gave them to you and that she should be able to do what she wished with them. I just wonder if keeping them may not cost the friendship if her mother is that fixated on getting them back.

Fuzzy Zoeller

Be nice, call the mom and explain to her that it was given to you and now all of your music is on there. If she still insists, ask her what you can do to work out the problem. If she doesn't want to work the problem out, then you aren't obligated to either.

Amory

In response to your edit : Just own up and give it back. You didn't even pay any money for them. Be the responsible adult you pretend to be.

Because your 17, it's a legal issue between her parents and your's. Now, because you're both 17, and, I'm assuming, of sound mind, the contract between you two may not be legal, BUT it could hold up in court, since you are both nearly legal adults.

If you dont want to give them back, then dont. Let it run it's course.

From the way it sounds, she is trying to intimidate you. If she does come to the door, you can talk to her. Maybe work something out.

Speak to her in the door way only. Do NOT allow her into the house. If she becomes hostile, tell her she is no longer welcome on your property, and that she must leave imidietly. If she refuses, call the police, explain the reason you called, and press charges.

Chances are, it will just fizzle out if you ignore it. But, I would not reccomend talking to that friend any longer.

just give it back because you don't want to be on the moms sh** list.... and even though she gave it to you let her be the indian giver and when she asks for it from you just say fine have them you selfish indian giver... i guess your mom raised you to be so selfish and greedy.

hesitant_smile

don't give them back...i wouldn't.

Tosha H

Yes, the ipods are rightfully yours. However, I think you should be the bigger man and give them to her mom.Obviously its such a big deal to her and shes not gonna give it up, you dont need that kind of drama in your life.Ipods arent that expensive and its not worth the battle, plus you will feel very mature and look like the bigger person in it all.

Suman

they are you're legally

once someone gave me a 20 pound note

and asked for it back

and am like u gave it to me

if this was to happen give and take will be causing debates

atmanx5

just dont give it back

Stephanie C

Um, if your friend gave it you...it's yours. Your friend needs to tell her mom that.

JEFF S

If she gave them to you then they are yours. They were hers to do with as she pleased even if her parents bought them for her. You don't have to give them back if you don't feel you should.

SillyKids

Ask your mom what she would do if she bought you something expensive and you just gave it to one of your friends without asking her first. If parents wanted their children's friends to have Ipods, they would buy them Ipods.
