The attractive nuisance doctrine states that land owners owe a higher duty of reasonable
care to trespassing children who are attracted by swimming pools, abandoned wells,
railroad tracks, or unused machinery.Please discuss your opinion on whether or not you
believe that the attractive nuisance doctrine is fair. Does the doctrine put too much
responsibility on landowners? What is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to ensure
that their child does not trespass?What are some items that you believe would create an
attractive nuisance? Please discuss at least one attractive nuisance not listed in the
textbook. What makes this an attractive nuisance? Are there any defenses for the
landowner?Your discussion should be based upon the material presented in the textbook,
case law, outside legal research via the Internet and/or the APUS on-line library, and your
own experiences/ opinions.
