[QUOTE=crazycatlady;2172736]Does it make since that a neighborhood should put up fences in their front yards(very unsightly) just in case their child gets out of the house and might wonder into the guys pond down the street? Sounds to me the pond owner is the one not taking responsibilities?
How about this scenario. I am putting in a pond(same principle as a pool). Because there are children in the neighborhood I should put up a gate so any kind of accident can not happen. Oh wait it's not my responsibility,let the neighbors build a bunch of fences because I do not have to put up a gate?. Gees. I would put up a gate, that my friends is what I would do and that IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. So I guess it comes down to what side of the fence you are on.
And that dog that bites your child in your yard.The owner of the dog would say.Hay not my responsibility,you should have had a fence to protect your child.
