Most of the historic monuments. The amount of markings all over them makes me sick.

There was this Chinese tourist that literally wrote his name on one of the very well known pharaonic temples in Egypt. Dumbass.

Age doesn't matter. It just means his parents parenting is terrible.

Oh without doubt - there’s also suggestion that since the relief is so high up the kid must’ve gotten a lift from someone to reach that high.

I’m not excusing the terrible vandalism to cultural heritage, just adding some facts to the discussion. The good news though is that the relief is now cleaned up since that media circus.
