Maybe. Gifts can be given with conditions, and gifts can be given with no conditions. And did she take it back "permanently" or on a further condition that you do or not do something. Parents do have leeway to discipline their minor children as long as the discipline is appropriate and sometimes that includes taking things away for a while. PS how much of what is "yours" did your mom give you anyhow. In a sense, everything she's given you from day one is kind of a gift even if she has a legal obligation to try to bring you up in a healthy way. So what's so special about this gift and why aren't you talking to her about the situation?
