The incident of the KKplus child at the Langham Place toy store in Mong Kok "suffering" the 1.8-meter-high antenna to get the B doll. With the exposure of the "Sky Eye" clip at the moment of the incident, netizens heatedly debated who was responsible.

In an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01", the father of the young child involved said that the store clerk claimed that his son "kicked" the doll and he promised to compensate the "cost price" of more than 30,000 yuan.

But now the CCTV footage has confirmed that nothing happened, and the store has not taken measures to protect the doll, and the father questioned that the store is also responsible.


Barrister Lu Weixiong said that if it is proved that the staff concerned was misleading or even suspected of "fraud", the parents involved can recover the compensation amount through civil claims.

He believes that in the incident, the store is also responsible and did not take protective measures to consolidate the giant doll, so it cannot place the full responsibility on the children and parents involved. Discuss calmly or call the police for help without immediate compensation.

The antenna, priced at RMB 52,800, got the B "Laa-Laa" doll, which fell to pieces after the accident.

Mr. Zheng, the father of the 5-year-old boy involved, recalled that the store clerk said, "You have kicked the canal (doll) before." He mistakenly thought it was his son who kicked the doll, so he promised to compensate the store for 33,600 yuan "cost price".

It wasn't until the "Eye of the Sky" clip came out that the truth was revealed.

Barrister Lu Weixiong said that children under the age of 10 do not have to bear criminal or civil liability, and whether to compensate is actually discussed by the parents and the store; If someone is suspected of "speaking big", the incident may involve "fraud and misleading". Parents can claim the compensation amount from the Small Claims Tribunal; If the amount exceeds $75,000, it must be referred to the District Court.

Lu Weixiong continued to say that in this accident, the store obviously did not take measures to protect the dolls concerned, nor did they have sufficient warning instructions, and he was also obliged to do so, "You are responsible for protecting the canal, strengthening the canal, or adding railings, so that the security guards watch it! "In the story, the store also needs to "share the responsibility", and must provide proof to prove the real price of the doll and whether it has purchased insurance. "It doesn't matter how much money you want, or if you want someone to compensate, you will claim the insurance again." , Simi double benefit?"

He reminded the public that in case of similar incidents, the compensation amount is agreed by both parties. If you feel that the compensation amount is too large, you must calmly seek evidence and continue to negotiate with the store. Contact method for follow-up processing, if necessary, you can call the police for help.
