So some parents were too busy to monitor their kid, and the kid broke a $132,000 statue.....
The parents, of course, blame everyone but themselves.
" No plexiglass. Not protected. Not held down . . . There was no border around it. There wasn't even a sign around it that said, 'Do not touch.".
Watch the video. Kid was unsupervised. Totally.
I think the kid's parents should be forced to pay the bill.
I used to run a motel. Parents would leave their kids to run round for HOURS. from a young as 2 or three....No supervision, no one watching them...either to discipline or protect 'em from predators. If they got up to mischief, or got hurt, they tried to blame the business. If we tried to stop little Suzy or young Hunter from climbing into the vending machine or something, we were castigated because she/he "Isn't your child" .
Parents are responsible for the behavior of their child, even up to and including damage they do, either through maliciousness or carelessness.
