Ruchel, it doesn't look like damage, just a mess and a big one at that especially for such a little girl.

Sorry, off topic, but my ds asked me why we don't buy a plane that way we don't have to pay for a ticket every time we want  to fly and we can go whenever we want.

My son cost me over a thousand dollars a month in formula for three years, unless we find someone to donate it and someone else to shelp it from the US to here it isn't covered by insurance here and without it he would never have made it to four years old.
$36,000 in formula in three years is insane.

I know a kid who burned down his parents' home by lighting a menorah on a mattress early one morning. B"H everyone escaped. |
When I was in elementary school - maybe 5th or 6th grade,a classmate's sibling burned down their house.

My sister flooded the house, does that count? :-)

My DD fell and had a concussion a few years ago.....the medivac from Lakewood to Phili (about 1/2 hour flight) was over 15K. B"H Insurance covered most of it. But that whole incident put us out a couple of grand. B"H DD fully recovered.
Tikva, I think we should share wall-art....DD thinks paper is just plain boring...She colored our black leather couch with Crayola neon explosion markers, and I can't get it out. Fortunately it's just one small area....
(years ago, my now-grown-up nieces took pens to my sister's floral couch and completely destroyed the aesthetics, necessitating a new couch....)

DD killed the walls in her room LOL. Writings everywhere, but it's old paper.
Also she dug a hole (!) in the wall in the corridor...

 It's still there and that happened about a year ago. I couldn't get it out - as they didn't use washable markers - and yes, I've tried everything from Mr. Clean Eraser (toxic nastiness) to hair spray, to wd-40 etc.

I have a friend who wrote to the company that she couldn't afford it, and they gave her a lot for free.

I only buy electronics with warranties. My kids dunk my new camera in the pool (never getting a staples warranty again - they don't stand behind it). Wash my phones in the sink, toilet, bathtub (Best Buy has the best protection plan, hands down)
Chipped my glass kitchen table (I was able to turn it agains the wall so right now its still okay)
colored on my leather couch (its fading)
Shattered the glass top on my dining room table (waiting to borrow a van to take the remenants to the glass cutter so he can recut)
Thats all I can think of for now.
I think a amother before mentioned their son breaks everything. don't know if this helps but I have a friend whose son put his hand through her walls every time he was upset. Her front hall way, living room, and dining room looked like swiss cheese. She put up a thick bead board over her entire lower portion of her walls and he couldn't get his hand through. It was cheaper then patching the holes and they were able to do it themselves.
