18 Jun Parents Hit With A Massive Bill After Their Son Knocks Over Sculpture

When I was a kid I had a habit of needing to touch everything, so when I was taken anywhere with anything remotely breakable, my parents would very sternly warn me, “Don’t touch anything!” Of course, I’m sure I did but I don’t remember ever breaking anything, at least not anything expensive.

That wasn’t the case for a young boy in Overland Park, Kansas recently. He managed to topple a sculpture worth $132,000 and now his parents are stuck with the bill. To be fair, the whole thing was an accident and the boy was actually being rather adorable by trying to give the sculpture a hug.

The incident didn’t occur at a high-end store or even an art gallery as might be expected, but at a wedding reception in a community center.

The whole thing was caught on security camera and you can watch the footage for yourself below: [[jwplayerwidget||http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/r9eCJpT0-Q0L14jDU.mp4||r9eCJpT0]]

Unfortunately, those in charge at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center didn’t find the incident so adorable and allegedly yelled at the boy and are charging his parents for the damage to the sculpture, citing negligence on their part for failing to monitor their son at all times.
