['My dad gave my son a very special model car and within the week, it was broken.', 'Oh no! I hope no one got in trouble!', "He didn't understand, so he wasn't in trouble, but I have to admit I was a little sad about it."]
I'd say so. That's so disheartening. I'm sure it was accidental.
My son broke a very special toy that his pawpaw gave him.
