Child Destroys $1,000 in Makeup at Sephora, Hits 'Bad Parenting' Chord on Social Media

A child reportedly destroyed more than $1,000 in makeup at a Sephora store and a viral Facebook post about the incident brought a thunderclap of comments about proper parenting.

Makeup artist Brittany Nelson posted a picture of the damage on Nov. 11 on her Facebook page – Extraordinary Life Makeup Artistry – that she took the Sephora location in Augusta, Georgia, website Insider.com reported.

"Mammas, please shop for your makeup without your tiny humans," Nelson said on Facebook. "It's not fun for you...or them...or the expensive product. Anna Heath and I about passed out when we saw this atrocity. … It looked 100 (times) worse in real life and I don't work for Sephora. I was just walking in as the mom/kid were hustling out of there."

The post seemed to strike a chord with many on social media who complained that parents don't do enough to make their children behave in public. The online comments trended to an overall commentary on parenting in general.

Thank you! As a mom who is all about compassionate parenting. I do not hit or yell... I'm so tired of horrible actions being defended by parents. I was raised to respect people and their things, and grew up with entitled spoiled ungrateful kids who are now worse as adults.

Sadly that doesn’t surprise me. People can’t control their kids. Leave me at home. Or just don’t go into that store if u can’t control your child. Who payed for the damage?

You’re definitely right it’s over $1,000! There’s 52 eyeshadow singles there at a cost of $22 a piece and it comes to the total of $1,092 before taxes. I wish they would have made the parent pay for that so they’d learn to watch the kid better...

yah this was my thought too, it doesn't look like what a child does but rather a disgruntled employee blaming an unfound, unknown child

If it was a small child why is all the damage on the top shelf ?
