There was an open well on my neighbors property. I spoke to them about it.
They told me that it was my duty to keep my chidden on my property.
I told them that I could maybe do that but there were usually 3 to 6 other kids visiting to play and I could not guarantee their safety.
I then spoke with my local excavator to find out the cost of getting a concrete well cap put on their well, I would pay for it.
He must have spoken to my neighbors.
the next week the neighbors installed a wood well cap.
I have to look to see if it is still there. There are no children in the neighborhood yet but some young couples have moved in and there will be some soon.
I remember growing up, the horror stories were always about kids getting into abandoned refrigerators and shutting the doors.
