An Australian kindergarten asked parents to pay A$2,200 for their child's art portfolio.
The kindergarten, facing financial issues, claimed the money would help pay overdue bills.
The request led to public outrage, with the state leader calling it 'emotional blackmail'.
A parent allegedly stole back their child's artwork in the middle of the night.
The kindergarten closed after funding was halted amid governance investigations.
Education authorities confirmed parents have a legal right to their children's artwork.
The children's art portfolios were eventually retrieved and made available for free.
