A jewelry store employee said the child was accompanied by four adults, but all four were unable to control the child and let the little boy climb on the head of Minnie, the largest and the most expensive statue, causing Minnie to fall and shattered.

There are additional reports that, this is not the first time such a thing has happened in the luxury mall, in fact the store has put up a warning sign saying, "Don't touch the statue".

This story became a hot topic on social media. Some netizens think that such expensive jewelry should have a fence and a clearer warning label. But it is placed in a corridor that can cause unwanted accidents. Some netizens found out that the parents had paid the damages, but why is the store still posting on social media?

But some netizens defended the post saying, this is a reminder to parents to always control their children so that unwanted incidents will not happen again.
