This story brings up a lot of good questions about being a neighbor AND being a parent.

The woman who wrote it has some legitimate concern about the safety of her children…

But, as you’ll see, maybe some of the responsibility for what’s going on here lands on her shoulders.

Get all the details below and see what you think about her situation.

My neighbour’s pool fence is a safety hazard. Inspector said it was fine.

“My neighbour installed a pool.

This doesn’t sound safe at all!

The fence is literally falling apart in places. Gaps big enough for a kid to get through. I have young kids, so this is terrifying.

I asked them about it and they said it passed inspection.

I checked with council and they confirmed it was inspected and passed.

I went and looked at the fence myself. There’s a gap under the gate big enough for my toddler to crawl under.

She has a right to be worried about this…

I don’t want to be that neighbour, but this is a safety issue.

Has anyone else dealt with a neighbour’s dodgy pool fence?

How did you handle it without causing a war?”

Reddit users shared their thoughts.

This person didn’t hold back.

And maybe she needs to keep a better eye on her kids!

Just a thought…

She’s not gonna tolerate this kind of public danger right next door!
