Open wells can happen at home. The U.S. and Canada have tens of thousands of abandoned wells that were never filled and were poorly covered. Our across the street neighbors raised two boys. One day the wood cover of an old well on their property rotted away and fell in. The yard had been landscaped over the well cover and there was probably 8 to 12 inches of dirt and plants over the old wood well cover. Their boys were probably 6 and 8 years old at the time and, fortunately, nobody fell in.
We are on suburban quarter-acre lots; the neighborhood was built on old orchard lands dotted with wells. The well was never disclosed when they bought the house and the property records did not show the well. It cost them a lot of money to pour a concrete plug in the well so it can never open cup again.
So, even with a stay-at-home mom, these tragedies can happen.
I doubt the daycare center in Ontario ignored an open well on their property (who would do that?). They probably had an old well open up just like our neighbors had. Of course, that doesn’t excuse the girl getting out of the building and wandering around on the property by herself.
