Child hit with $132,000 bill for accidentally knocking over sculpture

A 5-year-old boy knocked over a sculpture at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas. A few days later, Overland Park's insurance company hit the boy's parents with a $132,000 bill. From ABC News:

City officials say the piece was not permanently attached but it was secured to the pedestal with clips and that it was a not an interactive piece.

Weve had other pieces there [and] weve not had problems, said city spokesman Sean Reilly. Weve not had this situation weve not had kids climb on our pieces.

But (the child's mom Sarah) Goodman argued the sculpture should have been better secured. She also disputes the citys claim that her child wasnt being supervised. Goodman said she and her husband were out of frame of the surveillance camera, saying their goodbyes during a wedding reception that they were leaving, when the incident occurred.
