It's liability. Letting people onto your property is liability no matter what the context. Unsupervised kids roaming my property is a no-go and not my responsibility.
I get that people want to have their ideals here, but there's a whole "risk to the property owner" side to this conversation that's not happening.
- t-writescode 6y agoOr just teach them to not go into other people's property? I didn't when I was their age. Families had fences to designate property.
- folkhack 6y agoAgree. In my family we weren't allowed to trespass and had designated areas that were public where we would go off and adventure. Some involved a short bike ride. We weren't allowed to just go start playing in someone else's yard. Ninja edit: but in my anecdotal experience there are a ton of parents that don't do this and are shocked/insulted when you ask them politely to keep their kids off of your private property.
- Zak 6y agoIt seems to me the idea of premise liability should probably be re-evaluated. When a place is not open to the public, and especially when someone is trespassing, the bar for liability should be quite high.
- folkhack 6y agoFor those downvoting me I'd really like to hear a supporting argument as-to why I should let your kids roam my property? One that doesn't posit a world different than it is today - I don't want to hear how it SHOULD be... that's moot. I refuse to take liability and/or responsibility for people on my property that are there without my permission. If I find someone on my property who is there without permission I have a full lawful right to ask them to leave immediately as they are TRESPASSING. YOUR children are not MY responsibility.
