The teens filed the court application with their mother's consent.
In the Chinese city of Xuzhou, a 13-year-old brother and sister were able to take away through the court 16.8 thousand yuan (at the exchange rate of 2.5 thousand dollars) from their father, who in January 2020, took away from the children, telling them that they are minors and can not manage the money independently. The South China Morning Post wrote about the case.
The brother and sister were saving the money their mother gave them for holidays and birthdays. She and the teens' father are divorced. The twins asked for their money back, but the man refused. The children filed a lawsuit against their father with their mother's consent.
The court order states that the father must return eight thousand yuan to his son and 8.8 thousand yuan to his daughter.
