Amen. I feel sorry for Sandy...T_T

Dude u rock.

Yes

I agree with your insight on Sandy. I feel really bad for her now >.< I knew her mom was pretty bossy and her career took up lots of her time but what you said really emphasises that ^^ Also I love this cool drawing!

You should have had strings on Sandy's fingers that are controlling Mike, like some strange hierarchy of manipulation. With strings on Mikes finger, where each finger is controlling figurines of his friends, with Lucy's figurine off to the side with the string cut.

That would be so deep...

But! I like this nonetheless! Excellent artwork, Lolly!

PREACH
Sandy was the sweetest kindest most attentive thing when she was a kid and the impact of her mother kind of sucking the fun out of her life is showing its face more and more every time Sandy gets screen time. I would love for her to have her own personal development aside from the one that's been forced unto her by her mum because Sandy never got to be independent, and while she loves her modelling career because it's her being independent and talented, it's exactly what her mum wanted and!! It's not fair!! I'm biased as all hell but all in all I strongly and loudly agree with you

Wow.
I would also like to know more about Sandy. This is amazing esinololly! You've made me think more about Sandy, thanks for that!

Whats BCI?

So I just looked up a few things on California law to see something. Here's what I found out:

While it is not considered abuse to put a limit on Sandy's spending because she is a minor according to her state's law and her mother has legal guardianship, there are conditions.

First, it has to be in an account under both Sandy's name and one of her parents with both having to authorize any transaction or withdrawal. This also means Sandy having to ask is nit only allowed, it's legally enforced. The account also has to be specifically set up as "Minor Savings". Had this myself when I was a minor. Can't touch anything without being cosigned by a guardian. One of the reasons for this is, if a minor goes into debt, the law can go after whoever is their legal guardian(s). So if Sandy goes over, the whole family gets hit with that debt.

It also turns out banks in the US HAVE to do this for minors by law. In fact I wasn't even allowed to open a savings account without my father cosigning it, and couldn't take things out on my own without his authorization.

Here's the thing. While Sandy can't touch it without it being authorized by whichever guardian cosigned, that guardian can't touch it at all. As far as the bank is concerned, that guardian isn't the owner of the money even though their name is on the account. They just give the go-ahead. It isn't treated like joint ownership like marriage can be.

And it also turns out, the instant Sandy turns 18, the legal age in her state, the bank account becomes a regular account, and her guardian's name is no longer attached to it. Which means Sandy could do whatever she wanted.

Now here's the thing we have to consider. While this does mean her mother can't touch it unless Sandy herself initiates it and then it gets authorized, considering the intimidation her mother uses, there's a possibility Sandy could be coerced into buying something for her mother with that money and it would be considered authorized by both.

And we see those exact intimidation and bait-and-switch tactics used by Sandy toward Mike. Whether this classifies as abuse toward Mike is not the issue at hand here. It's something else.

Sandy did not use these tactics at all earlier on, but used them almost exclusively later. That means she had to have learned it. Since her career cuts her off socially from most people, with basically only her mother to speak to, to the point that she might not be ignoring Mike by choice at all, the only person would have been her mother.
