I concur wholeheartedly - call your atty and have a letter sent to the
parents about the unacceptability of their child's behavior and your concern
about their child's welfare. if it continues, then for the child's own
safety (since it appears that there is lax supervision), contact child
welfare.

Wow. That's scary. Locked gate and three year old must be climbing over
the fence? You might call your insurance agent, explain your set up,
pond,
fence, locked gate and what happened. He/she might tell you your
liability.

I wouldn't dream of calling my insurance agent. Once you warn them about
a
liability issue, they're likely to just drop your policy. Then, try to
get
coverage.

If you are worried about the liability, call your lawyer.

Having survived a roaming child of mine own (there was no child
proof lock this boy could not open) I am very thankful to his guardian
angel.

Fortunately for the survival of the species, children almost never
actually
come to grief from this sort of activity. Unfortunately for individual
families, there are exceptions.

We've been lucky enough to live miles away from very young children as
long
as we've had a pond.
