They're moving to Canada. Relocating halfway across the world is expensive.

The actual story is probably that wifey said "there's no way we're paying the cost of having that shipped safely to Canada" which is fair enough. Stuff like that always gets left behind in a cross-country move. So they gave it to the kid.

The paper spun it in to a "me or the statue" story because that's more interesting. Note that none of the actual quotes given suggest that she gave him such an ultimatum. I have a feeling that "no room for (the orc) in our life" may have even been meant literally: the place they are moving to in Canada has nowhere to put the thing, even if they could ship it over in one piece.
