The Fuente de los Niños Traviesos (lit. transl. Fountain of the Playful Children), colloquially known as the Fuente de los Niños Miones (lit. transl. Fountain of the Pissing Children), is a fountain with sculptures of boys in Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.[1]
History[]
In 2012, one of the children was stolen, but it was recovered promptly.[2] On 15 May 2020, the fountain was vandalized again after a person stole one of the sculptures.[3] The responsible was arrested days later and said he attempted to sell it as scrap.[4]
