I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. 2 year old daughter figured out how to defeat the doorknob cover about 6 months ago. She showed the 4 year old and now we are trying to find other knob covers or a way to stop it. My son, at 1 year old, wanted to go outside. So he went to the door and tried to get the lock open, but he couldn’t reach it. So he ran to his room and got his step stool and carried it over to the door, did the bottom lock, and was straining for the top lock when my wife walked out of the kitchen, saw what he was doing, and stopped him. Kids are smart, and there is no way to stop them other than restraints or hovering over them every second of the day.

Exactly. And bearing that in mind - that pond should have been fenced.
