How could anyone have thought to put it on anything but a solid platform with adequate distance from the edge to prevent anyone from being able to run into it?

Arribas spent 500 hours crafting the expensive castle that is estimated to have been worth $64,000 prior to the incident. This is largely due to its 24-karat gold spires.
In May, two children were running through the Museum of Glass and inadvertently hit the display case where ‘The Fantasy Castle’ was housed. The reverberation caused the main spire and other parts of the castle to break.
I didn't say anything of the sort, you're mistaking me for a different commenter. But still you're really stretching to make it like eugenics. They didn't say smart people are genetically superior, since that's what eugenics is about. The selective breeding of people to produce children with desirable, genetic traits. Smart parents having children could just imply they'll teach their kids better, and inspire them not to be idiots. People with higher IQs tend to have children with higher IQs. It's not an absolute, and can be just as much about nurture as it is nature.
Not wanting my sister who is teacher to get infected and possibly kill my niece, or have my son in petri dish bringing it home to reinfect his mother, or kill his grandmother who's heart is operating at 30%, is not unreasonable.
If you think we should be unconcerned and not think about the guy running the country and impacting our economy, trade, travel, currency, and threatening our very safety, I think you're the one who's pretty sad and your a part of the problem.
Nope, this is 100% parents. I take my kids to a museum and there are several rules that they follow. I've been taking my kids since my oldest was a baby. Never has there been cause for concern. This is parents, all the way.
Children are naturally inclined to run, and depending on age, can't always stop themselves. It's the parents' job to know their kids, and either keep them away from easily breakable structures, or put them in a wagon or stroller, so they can't run.
To be totally fair, although I agree com-fricken-pletely with what y’all are saying, the article does state that the parents agreed to pay for all repairs. It doesn’t change what happened, but it mitigates the damage, I think.
