Just my opinion here but isn't the whole purpose to give him a form of punishment & not a lesson in finance? He knew what he was doing when he broke the toy. I totally agree with amma.
If the parents had a prob., they needed a lesson themselves.
Kids are growing up with no respect for anything now.
