DUers with home swimming pools, need liability advice: [View All]

[Catchawave]

Thanks for reading, hope you can advise me how to advise my son.

He lives in Florida with just under 3 yo twin girls and an in ground pool in the backyard. Both girls are able swimmers, BUT, I am pissed he took down the mesh pool safety fence. His yard is enclosed by an 8 foot privacy fence also. Other than my concern for the girls being out of sight for a few critical moments and bumping their heads and falling in and drowning, I'm trying to drive home his responsibility and liability if their non-swimming toddler visiting buddies succumb to the temptation of falling in or driving a big wheel into the pool?

Am I overreacting? He just doesn't seem as worried as I am about potential lawsuits, much less preventable 'accidental' drownings.
