T.J. Is here with the story. All right, every parents said to their child in thtore before, dot touch , becaus you do, mom and daddy got to pay for that if youreak it. If you break it you buy it also applies if what you broke cost 132 grand. That's what the parents are being told, but they counter with this, who left this expensive thing sitting out in the first place? Reporter: This is the moment thatld cost a Kansas family more than 100 grand. Sarah Goodman and her family werettending a wedding at a community center in Overland Park wn her 5-year-old son goes in to hug a glass statue and it toppled on top of him. He couldave decide. Reporter: Instead of an apology, thedmans got a bill for $132,000. None would ever expect to me into a pce where kids are invited andave to worry about a $132,000 piece of art. Eporter: The center's insurance company sent the family a letter readg, you are responsible for the supervision of a minor ild. Your failure to monitor could be nsidered negligent. I was surprised,ore so offended to be negligent. Anyone said is your son okay. He ran in fear. I cannot believehat they allowed something so dangerous to be where kids play.

It's not an intactive piece when you have somebody climbing on it, that's not what it's built for. Reporter: This is the first timee've seen touchy-feely paons send display art down.

On T other ha, I have nieces and nephews that will come to my house and I'll put some things up knowing I'm not going to let that child try to breakit. You've got sides. Dean, I'm talking to you. You THR him under the bus. Look at the sweet face. And she knows andome people know but still, shouldn't they have an obligation if something cost that much, put a rope around it, have security nearby, something. I think bh sides are responsible base as a parent I never let my kid out of my sight anyway to touch anything and you said WHE you tell your kids don't tch that, nono, parents told me before I walked in, if you touch it, you know what happens when you get home. I didn't touch anything. Evebody here knows what he was Ying in the commercial break. Oh now, he did that for you S Sabine she's got a pit H on. Had a good time. You were good to daddy on Sunday? Yeah. We'll be rht back. We'll be right back. Happy fathes day you guys. Oms are holding you back,
