City tells parents to pay $130k after son knocks over sculpture

OVERLAND PARK, KS (KSHB/CNN) — A city in Kansas says two parents are on the hook to pay $132,000 for a statue that their son toppled in a community center.

Sarah Goodman said her family attended a wedding last month at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City.

During the reception, Goodman’s 5-year-old son hugged a glass mosaic torso sculpture on a display stand, causing it to topple on top of him. Surveillance video shows the boy struggling for a bit before the artwork fell to the ground.

“We heard a bunch of commotion and I thought, ‘Whose yelling at my son?’” Goodman told KSHB. “This glass mosaic torso is laying on the ground and someone is following me around demanding my personal information.”
