This is like child stars in hollywood where the parents spent the money the kid made and left the kid broke when the kid grew up.
I have relatives who have stolen the life savings of family members. I have talked to others and they have stories of their own. Too common.

Why was the Coogan law created?
The original Bill was passed in 1939 by the State of California in response to the plight of Jackie Coogan, who earned millions of dollars as a successful child actor only to discover, upon reaching adulthood, that his mother and stepfather had spent almost all of his money.

Same here. It's so wicked.
