    And with this revelation I am sure a hefty lawsuit will ensue.

    Where were his good parents? You can't fix stupid. You can't make everything perfectly safe. How many people jump off bridges every year. Maybe we need to put signs up on them that the impact with the water or rocks may be fatal.

      Give it a rest. He is a 12 year old kid. I'm sure you have done some stupid stuff over the years.

    So the 6.5' fence didn't give it away to "Stay Out"?

    Please. This child is old enough to be in his neighborhood unsupervised. Parents can't be with their children all the time! Obviously, this was a poor choice on his part, but he is a CHILD, they are known to make foolish, impulsive decisions. Come to think of it, there are some adults who do the same....

    Lay off this family.

    This child obviously should have been supervised.

    The child obviously lacked both judgment skills and respect for prohibited entrance.

    If they receive a settlement award, I will immediately file suit for lost production when I had to shut down and send my employees home early.

    Ian's parents should count their blessings and make a formal, public apology to the entire community. I wont hold my breath.

      Isn't the answer obvious to you? If not, read Atlas Shrugged and see if you can actually figure it out on your own.
