The attractive nuisance doctrine applies to the law of torts in the United States. It states that a landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on the land if the injury is caused by an object on the land that is likely to attract children.

If I ever get my own home, I would get an indoor pool and have it designed to be a natural extension of the outdoor area so it's not an eyesore. Not only would it provide privacy and less of outdoor elements getting into the pool, but any entitled brat trying to make its way in is now breaking and entering. What's inside my home is no longer an "attractive nuisance."

At one point my parents looked into getting a pool, and actually thought ahead enough to ask someone what liability they might face in a situation like this. They were told they'd be liable even if a child had to climb a fence to get to the pool, because a pool is considered an "attractive nuisance":Quote
