Yes. It is your responsibility. You shall follow the bylaws of the society. Why others or society will bear the lift's charges?

The father of the child is responsible to take care of the child and its activities.
If the 5 years old child has broken or damaged the society's properties, then it is because of the negligence of the parents of the child who were not properly taking care of their child.
Thus they have to pay for the acts of negligence
