    Why aren’t the parents in trouble? If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone’s backyard and swim in their pool I’d lose custody. This is the real problem.

      In Australia you have to have a fence around any backyard pool, including shallow little blow up pools, because children will get into your yard and drown. So I guess it’s expected. Also, going into someone’s yard to get a lost ball was pretty normal when I was a kid and would not have resulted in losing custody.
