Savannah, Fla. & Western R. Co. v. Beavers

In Savannah, Fla. & Western R. Co. v. Beavers, 113 Ga. 398, 404 (39 SE2d 82) (1901), the Court noted: When a child wakes up in the morning in his father's house, the duty of providing a safe playground for him during the day rests upon his parents. Is this duty shifted from the parent to private landowners because the child chances to escape from the parent's care? If those who brought the child into the world are unable, by reason of poverty, to provide him a playground, this may afford an argument for the passage of a statute imposing that duty upon the municipality, in which case each landowner would have to contribute his proportion of the expense. But this is quite another thing from assessing upon a single unfortunate landowner the entire damage arising from the want of such a playground.
