We have a hot spring on our property and we tap into it to heat the driveway, house, barns, and our pool. The kids stay away from the pump house because it’s hot and because we tell them to stay away from it.
I know that the idea of keeping a child in order is considered child abuse these days but I don’t worry about our kids going into the pump house and getting boiled alive.
Egads, don’t you see the difference between what’s on your property - things that you have ample opportunity to warn your kids about and a sightseeing family showing up as tourists to a site they likely have never visited - a site that looks like nothing much at all and doesn’t look dangerous to someone without life and world experience, unless one has far more world experience than a wide range of kids. We don’t know that the parents weren’t as attentive to the danger as they might have been. Maybe it happened pronto when they drew near with what was likely a larger group of tourists. Those in charge of this site are badly remiss to have only a few widely spaced horizontal boards marking a boundary. Have you ever visited that site? I did. Stop blaming the parents, please. The site set-up as they have it should not allow anyone but adults to visit. I do not remember whether there are signs warning of the danger of death. Do we see any in the photos?
