Oh yes you can go after your mother, those are your checks, she will probably end up going to jail for awhile.. That's a felony!

Not sure what the statute of limitations is on something like that. The fact that you were a minor may play into it, however, since she is you mother, it may not be considered a crime. This is one for a qualified lawyer to answer.
Morally however, she should have used the money to help you, not herself. Sorry you had this happen to you!!!

Sorry this happened to you. Maybe that money could have been used to help you instead of herself. Definitely check with a lawyer.

What a horrible thing for a mother to do. I doubt if you can do anything since it was so many years ago. Contact your SS office and ask them. Good luck! Can I ask how you are doing now? My niece passed away from CF at age 16 back in '97. I understand they've made a lot of progress in fighting it since then.

I have to agree with everyone else on this in that I think that you need to contact a lawyer. Make sure that you're really sure that you want to do this because like you said, you're family is going to be upset over this. Good luck!!

I'm so glad you are doing well! I actually met the man who invented that vest! When Lisa was a baby we used to have to literally turn her in all different directions and "pound" on her with a cupped hand. Then her grandfather (my sil's dad) came up with this huge rubber suction cup looking thing that was attached to a thing that would move it up and down and we used that. I was very close to Lisa and the only other person, besides her parents, who knew how to do her treatments. When she was born the outlook for CF was so dismal and now I just saw something the other day that called it a "potentially" fatal disease. It is wonderful to see the advances that have been made. Now we just need to wait for them to come up with a cure.I pray that you continue to have good health.

My cousin's son has CF, and he's doing very well. He's finished with college now, and a real sweetheart. I'm not close with my cousin, but last time I saw them, he was feeling very good.
My grandson was tested for it also, but it was negative, thank goodness. With stem cell research, there could be a cure!

Because I am on SS disability I get a small amount of money for my minor children. Let me tell you, they are very strict about how you have to spend that money ON THE CHILDREN. It probably wouldn't have been illeagle for her to buy a house with the money IF you lived in the house also. But, since you've never lived there she definetely broke the law. It just may have been too many years ago to do anything about it. But, like I said before, it's worth a phone call to SS to find out.

Man, THis brings back lots of memories for me. Not good ones either. My mother use to make me sign over my SS checks when I was your age. I was living with her at the time and I guess it was used to help take care of me for a while. When I wsa 16 and 17 I had to open an account at a local clothing store to buy my clothes. I had a job and began paying for my own clothes and anything else that I needed including doctor bills and car repairs. (By the time I got out of high school I had 2 jobs.( She made me do this till I was 18. Then of course the checks stopped. My mother had a BF and I knew for a fact that my checks were not being used to help me. I neve did anything about it altho I wish I did. I simply cut my ties with her. I haven't spoken to her in 11 years. So believe it or not I know EXACTLY how you feel. I think that since you weren't living with her you have a good chance of recovering some of your money. Good Luck and Take Care!!
