Since I don't have kids of my own, I'm not sure the protocol for this...
We have a pool in the back yard. At it's deepest point it's 15ft deep. It's snowing today and obviously the pool has been covered for months. Three neighbor kids jumped our fence and were running around the pool and started to get onto the cover. I went out and asked them not to go on the cover and to not play in our yard. (Everyone has 3/4 acres here so there is PLENTY of room to play in everyone's yard). The problem is, if they get on the cover, they will go right through. We don't drain our pool and if they go in, they will go under. So I asked the boys to not play in our yard and not to jump the fence.
Here's the question... do I call their mothers and let them know? Luckily I was here... if they do it again and I'm not and something bad happens, I'm liable, right?
