(69,051 posts)if I were the parents. This is why they have insurance. Also, if a little five year old can knock it to the ground it was not properly secured. The flip side is the kid could have been hurt. My then five year old jumped on a golf cart that one of the employees had left running in a dealership and smashed it in to a cadillac escalade. Thank God she wasn't hurt. We were looking for a SUV and being driven around in the cart. She took off at a run with me right behind her and jumped into the cart got it in gear. That car was fully loaded so very expensive, and was it damaged. Accidents happen. I was certainly not presented with a bill...the dealership employees were very apologetic. I was mortified however. The parents should countersue. The exhibit was not properly secured, the child could have been injured and unless they banned kids, they had a responsibility to create a safe environment for them.
