I think it is the responsibility of the parents or<br>guardians to make sure that child does not enter any construction<br>site, just as they they teach them not to play in the street and supervise<br>those children that do not or are not old enough to understand. <br><br>The cost of constructing a house would be prohibitive if it was the<br>responsibility of construction workers, architects, and drafters to<br>design projects so a child cannot possibly get injured during the <br>construction process. Your
house would costs about 3 x as much as it does<br>now, and their would more homeless children. <br><br>More children die in car accidents then at construction sites. <br><br><br>Best,<br><br>_DJA<br></tt></pre> <br><br><b><i>Saundra Lund <sslund@adelphia.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Have you never heard of attractive nuisances, Donovan?<br>http://tinyurl.com/r2ny6<br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractive_nuisance_doctrine<br><br>I have no idea of the statistics, but each year children are killed and<br>injured at construction sites.
