OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Two parents may be stuck with a $132,000 bill after their child damaged a sculpture inside the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas. 
 
 The child’s mother, Sarah Goodman, said the incident happened during a wedding reception last month. 
 
 Surveillance video shows the child hug the sculpture, then seconds later, it fell. 
 
 “We heard a bunch of commotion and I thought, 'Whose yelling at my son?'” Goodman explained. “This glass mosaic torso is laying on the ground and someone is following me around demanding my personal information.” 
 
 Following the incident, Goodman and her husband received a letter from an insurance company saying they were negligent for not monitoring their children. 
 
 However, Goodman said the accident could have happened to any family. 
 
 “My children are well supervised but all people get distracted,” she said. 
 
 The family has also raised concerns about the safety of the art display. 
 
 Goodman said the sculpture should have had more protection and markings around it due to its expensive price tag. 
 
 “It’s in the main walkway. Not a separate room. No plexiglass. Not protected. Not held down,” she said. “There was no border around it. There wasn’t even a sign around it that said, ‘Do not touch.’” 
 
 Goodman added that she was disappointed that no ever asked if her son was okay after the sculpture nearly fell on top of him. 
 
 “He’s honestly been having bad dreams every night,” she said. “None of these people have ever once said, ‘How is Troy? How is your son holding up? Is his face okay?’” 
 
 A spokesperson with the City of Overland Park said the city filed an insurance claim. The insurance company then contacted the Goodman family. 
 
 “It was a piece that was loaned to us that we are responsible for. That’s public money,” spokesperson Sean Reilly explained. “We are responsible to protect the public investment.” 
 
 Reilly defended the display at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center and said the sculpture was never meant to be touched. 
 
 “There’s a societal responsibility that you may not interact with it if it’s not designed for interaction,” he said. 
 
 Goodman said the family still has not figured out how to deal with paying for the damage and has reached out to their homeowner's insurance provider for assistance. 
 
 “$132,000 is completely astronomical,” she said. “We’ll see what the insurance company says and if they’re going to take it to lawyers. We don’t know.” 

 Parents of a 5-year-old Kansas boy were hit with a $132,000 bill after their son knocked over an art sculpture on display at a local community center. 
 
 Surveillance video captured the little boy reaching for the sculpture, called “Aphrodite di Kansas City” on display in the lobby of the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas, when it toppled over. 
 
 Then a few days later, the family received a $132,000 claim from the city of Overland Park’s insurance company, saying that the piece had been damaged beyond repair. 
 
 “You’re responsible for the supervision of a minor child… your failure to monitor could be considered negligent,” the insurance letter read in part. 
 
 “I was surprised, absolutely, more so offended to be called negligent,” said the boy’s mother Sarah Goodman. “They were treating this like a crime scene.” 
 
 The sculpture’s artist, Bill Lyons, told ABC News it took him about two years to create the piece and it was listed for sale at $132,000. He examined the piece himself, he said, and concluded it could not be repaired. 
 
 “It’s beyond my capabilities and desires to rebuild it,” he said. 
 
 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.” 
 
 “We’ve had other pieces there [and] we’ve not had problems,” said city spokesman Sean Reilly. “We’ve not had this situation… we’ve not had kids climb on our pieces.” 
 
 But Goodman argued the sculpture should have been better secured. She also disputes the city’s claim that her child wasn’t 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. 
 
 “No one would ever to expect that to come into a place that kids are invited and have to worry about a $132,000 dollar piece of art falling on their child,” Goodman said. “Because he didn’t maliciously break that. It fell on him. It was not secure, it was not safe -- at all.”

– Wrangling 5-year-olds can be challenging. Failing to do so can apparently be expensive. Or so learned a Kansas couple, who say they may be on the hook for a $132,000 sculpture their young son knocked over. ABC News reports that while at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park for a May 19 wedding reception, the 5-year-old was caught reaching toward the sculpture by surveillance cameras; "Aphrodite di Kansas City" toppled over and fell. Then the other shoe dropped, in the form of an insurance claim for $132,000—the piece's list price—from the company that insures the city. Sculptor Bill Lyons says he spent roughly 2 years creating the glass piece and that his inspection of it revealed damage to the head and arms. It is "beyond my capabilities and desires to rebuild it," Lyons says. "You’re responsible for the supervision of a minor child ... your failure to monitor could be considered negligent," the letter from the insurance company read in part. Mom Sarah Goodman counters that the whole scenario was dangerous, and not because of her child. "He didn’t maliciously break that. It fell on him. It was not secure, it was not safe—at all." As for what he was doing, she tells the Kansas City Star "he probably hugged it ... because he’s a loving, sweet nice boy who just graduated from preschool." Overland Park says the piece was on loan and it was obligated to file an insurance claim, and the insurance company was subsequently obligated to contact the family. They say they're hopeful their homeowner's insurance policy will cover the situation, reports KSHB. (This woman says she didn't ruin an $89,000 artwork but rather increased its value.)
