Just found this out. Don't really want to give lots of details in case the mum goes on this site, so apologies for that, but it's entirely possible.
DC2 (age 3) apparently flung it a few months back, I did know about it but it wasn't mentioned again and I had honestly forgotten all about it. I gave DS2 a big row at the time. (they were in the older boy's room, unsupervised. DS2 would have no idea what it was, though of course, shouldn't be throwing anything!!)
Just found out by chance that the other boy now has a new one. I texted his mum (we are friends) and of course I offered to pay. (or at least contribute towards the new one, I think he got an upgrade!)
They have gone out so no reply yet. Does anyone have any (non-flaming) thoughts?? Just really looking for a few quick replies, don't really have time to sit and type/read! Hope that doesn't sound cheeky. WWYD??
