"The broken ceramic vase is a product produced by the company itself, not a cultural relic or antique speculated by netizens. Liu Tingting said.

Lawyer's point of view

What parents should do if their children damage high-value items

If a minor damages a high-priced item, should he be compensated? How should he be compensated? The Modern Express reporter consulted a lawyer.

Heng Xiaochun, a lawyer at Jiangsu Manxiu Law Firm, said that in the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, it has been made clear that if a person with no or limited civil capacity causes damage to others, the guardian shall bear tort liability. Where guardians perform their guardianship duties, their tort liability may be reduced. Where a person with property who lacks or has limited capacity for civil conduct causes harm to others, he or she shall pay compensation from his or her own property, and the guardian shall compensate for the shortfall.

To put it simply, if the minor has his own property, such as money given by someone else, then the parents can use the minor's money to pay for compensation, and if the minor does not have his own property, or if the property is not enough to pay compensation, then the parents should use their own money to compensate.

However, how much compensation will be paid?

Heng Xiaochun believes that if minors cause damage to goods, their guardians should bear the corresponding responsibility, and if the merchant does not take the necessary protective measures when placing it, there is also a certain responsibility, but this part of the responsibility is relatively small, and the main responsibility is borne by the guardian of the minor.

There are also many cases of "bear children" damaging items and parents compensating for them.

In January 2022, in the Lane Crawford department store in Chengdu, Sichuan, a child knocked down and damaged two ornaments in the store, one of which was a Mickey Mouse ornament worth 130,000 yuan, and the other was worth 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. The staff said that the store had insured the valuables. After the incident, the child's parents compensated the store.
