In case any minors are reading this thread, this is not true (at least in the US). Children absolutely have property rights, do not let your parents steal anything from you such as inheritance, wages, gifts, and personal items. Parents can generally take custody of an item (like taking away a phone because their kid is grounded) but they can't sell it, and they are legally responsible for taking good care of items in their custody.
