A Kansas boy's parents may be stuck with a big bill after their son toppled a sculpture costing more than $100,000. It happened at a wedding reception last month at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park. Surveillance video captured Sarah Goodman's five-year-old son hugging a sculpture on display before it topples over on top of him. He struggles for a bit when suddenly it falls to the ground. Goodman says she figured the piece was costly, but only estimated around $800. "No, it's $132,000," Goodman said the city told her. "I'm sorry. We're finished here." The city calls the incident an unfortunate situation but says the artwork should not have been touched. Goodman and her husband question the safety of the piece saying it wasn't in plexiglass or tied down. Now, they're just waiting to find out what happens next.<doc-sep>A Kansas 5-year-old was attending a wedding at a local community center with his family last month when he saw the "Aphrodite di Kansas City," a minimalist sculpture of a woman's upper body, and decided to give it a hug. Within moments, boy and statue alike were on the ground. Several days later, the boy's mom got a letter from the insurance company of the city of Overland Park, which runs the community center, asking for $132,000 in damages. "It's clear accidents happen, and this was an accident," said the mother, Sarah Goodman. "I don't want to diminish the value of their art. But I can't pay for that." The artist who made the Aphrodite says it is damaged beyond repair and that $132,000 was its price point before the accident. Goodman believes the damage was not serious — in surveillance camera footage, it is carried away apparently intact — and that it should have been better attached to its stand. "Our kids were well-supervised and well-behaved," she said. "Maybe my son hugged a torso because he's a loving, sweet nice boy who just graduated from preschool." Watch his very expensive hug below. Bonnie Kristian<doc-sep>OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (CBSLA) — This incident might put off this kid from hugging altogether. A Kansas family is on the hook for more than $100,000 after their 5-year-old put his arms around an art piece at a community center and toppled it, and it was all caught by security cameras. The incident happened during a wedding reception at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas last month, WGN reported. The boy can be seen hugging the base of the sculpture named “Aphrodite di Kansas City” by local artist Bill Lyons, the Kansas City Star said. He attempts to hold it up as it begins to lean forward but can’t stop it from falling. “This glass mosaic torso is laying on the ground and someone is following me around demanding my personal information,” the boy’s mother Sarah Goodman told WGN. The family soon learned of the piece’s hefty price tag. “‘Maybe this is like 800 or something.’ No, it’s $132,000!” Goodman told reporters. “I’m sorry, we’re finished here.” The Goodmans said they received a letter from the City of Overland’s insurance company accusing them of negligence for not monitoring their children, according to WGN. In response, the mother said, “My children are well-supervised, but all people get distracted.” Goodman put the blame on the recreation center, saying there was no glass buffer around the sculpture or even a sign around it saying “Do not touch.” Sean Reilly, spokesman for the City of Overland Park, told WGN the statue was on loan to the city and that they were responsible for protecting “the public investment.” He added that the display was never meant to be touched, saying, “There’s a societal responsibility that you may not interact with it if it’s not designed for interaction.” Lyons told The Kansas City Star the sculpture made of glass an other materials took him two years to complete and that it was his most ambitious work to date. Still, Goodman maintains the $132,000 amount is “astronomical.” She told WGN the family was waiting to see if the city will seek legal action.<doc-sep>OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (WSVN) — 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.” Nearly a month later, the family received a letter from Travelers Insurance, stating the family is responsible for the cost of the damage. “This loss occurred when your son was in a closed area of the property and toppled a glass sculpture. Under common law in Kansas, you are responsible for the supervision of a minor child and your failure to monitor them during this loss could be considered negligent,” the letter read. “The cost of the sculpture damaged is estimated at $132,000.” [protected-iframe id=”aeb1d4e9318f93bcf6b0a679ddc41605-110336915-112670968″ info=”//z.cdn.turner.com/cnn/van/resources/2.1/scripts/van-widgets.js” ] Goodman said the accident could have happened to any family, noting the art display was unprotected and not properly secured. “My children are well supervised but all people get distracted,” she said. “It’s in the main walkway. Not a separate room. 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.’” A spokesman for the city defended the display, saying the sculpture was not meant to be touched. “There’s a societal responsibility that you may not interact with it if it’s not designed for interaction,” spokesperson Sean Reilly said. “It was a piece that was loaned to us that we are responsible for. That’s public money. We are responsible to protect the public investment.” Reilly said the city filed an insurance claim for the piece; the insurance company then contacted the family. Goodman says her family does not have the means to pay for the damage, and is speaking with their homeowner’s insurance about the matter. “$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.”<doc-sep>
