I believe personally that its their responsibility to watch the child. Just like a babysitting situation if the child is young enough to still need adult supervision. So I would not expect repayment for something a child broke of mine while under my supervision. Now even with that being said, if they requested I pay for a replacement/fixing, I would have a sit down discussion about how we can make it right. As long as said adult, can act like an adult about the situation.
I would find out exactly how it happened first 
then decide what the respectful thing is to do
Umā¦courtesy thing to do would be to replace itā¦

There is so much missing from this post. How old is your child? What was the accident? What circumstances led to the accident? Where were the adults when this accident occurred? Who was all present? Do you have all of the facts, have you spoken to the parents and to your child about what happened? These are all key factors. Yes you are responsible for your child and your childās actions. Yes there should have been adult supervision, however no one can have eyes on their child or any other child in their care 100%of the time. You need to first make sure you have the entire story, and then you need to come up with a solution that works for both of you. Personally I would never ask someone to replace something that was broken or damaged at my house, unless the child maliciously and purposefully damaged the object, and then I would still only ask for them to help me replace it. I have a feeling that since this parent reached out to you, the possibility of this not being an accident is greater. On the flip side, if my child broke or damaged something at someone elseās house I would either offer to fix it, offer to buy a new one or offer to cover some of the money for the replacement, even if it was an accident. I wouldnāt feel right not offering to at least help.
I would definitely offer to replace.

My daughter threw my dadās phone in the pool when they went on vacation last month. I offered to pay the deductible so they could claim insurance on it but they told me it was on them and they should have been watching her better.
I feel I was responsible because in the end it is my child who did the damage.

NO WAY. there was a whole court case on this. A child caught a carpet on fire while The adult was a ASLEEP and she sued the parent for damages which didnāt work out in her favor in court because The adult is supposed to be supervising the child. So NO. Youāre getting alot of bad advice in these comments

Sorry, you need to replace it, it is your responsibility
I believe he is of age to be without constant supervision, spend the night with someone then he is responsible for the damage. That would fall on you to make restution for him, his allowance or you pay & make him do chores to pay you back. He has to learn to take responsibility for his actions so this would be a great lesson for him. He will watch you. & how you handle it
I would help maybe pay half.
I would replace it even if they didnāt want me to

Yes, you should at least offer to help fix/ replace if you know it was your childās fault, but if they willing gave your child the comp knowing the risks and it was not only your childās fault that is a different story and I would not feel itās fair to blame your child in that case. So I guess it depends on the situationā¦
Itās your responsibility if your kid broke it!
