[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This, to me, is very similar to the concept of attractive nuisance in law. The adult is in the baby area and should be aware to put the phone away. Those of you saying the parents need to supervise are unreasonable. It could happen so fast if it was just on the edge of the pool. Do you really expect the parents to be hovering over their child in the baby/shallow area? You go in that area so your toddler can have some freedom to run in a safe and shallow and usually fenced area. The adult who left the phone out is responsible.

It would be kind of the parent to offer to pay, but that’s a lot of money to cough up for an adult’s carelessness.

[b]OP, I’m curious which party you are?[/b] Update us. [/quote]

I'm not the OP, but I am a liberal Democrat and I think the parent of the toddler should pay. I think the adult who left her phone by the pool was an idiot, but if my kid breaks someone's property, I offer to repair or replace it.[/quote]

Lol   
It's funny that you are stating your political affiliation, but I'll play.

I am a conservative Republican and I think the phone owner is a jerk if she accepts money.   I stated in a previous post that if it was my kid, I'd offer to pay just to keep up neighborly relations, but I'd think a lot less of the phone owner if she accepted my money.  [/quote]

I agree, it's funny PP asked. And I am with you 10000% that I would offer to pay because it's the right thing to do but if the person took money from me, I'd think less of her.[/quote]

The question asked was which side of the dispute is the OP on? Can’t believe it’s that hard to understand. [/quote]
