You wouldn't have done it anyway because our generation knew better!! We knew the limits and respected it. I fear for the future of humanity :(

When I was about seven, I was taken to a state house. There was a lot of antique furniture on display, and because of its high value, there was security rope. In one of the rooms, there was a beautiful grandfather clock, and because I wanted to get a closer look, I slipped underneath when my mum turned to speak to my dad, just for a moment. Of course, I set off the alarms, and a guard had to be called. The staff were very understanding, but I still remember the sheer guilt I felt that night, for breaking that rule, and almost getting my parents into trouble, too. The article doesn't seem to mention the age of the child, but what if they had been a toddler? Or very young? Parents can't keep a constant vigilance on their kids, and sometimes it really does take just a minute. Children don't usually understand the long-term consequences of their actions, anyway. Apparently the parents offered to compensate the artist for the damage, but the artist refused.

Geez people, relax. It's a kid. At least the artist is significantly more chill than the internet lynch-machine.

I feel you. Here is much worse. When a naughty kid punished by a teacher at class corner, the parent would call a cop and report the teacher for child-abuse. So.. yes.. I fear the future.

Im guessing on their phones.

may updating sts about them visiting the lego expo :p while the little monster was busy crossing the security ropes :D

Didn't you know, art, gorillas, it's NEVER the parent's fault. Accidents happen.
