1 would hope so !!! how stupid can parents be to leave an open septic/sewer ??? they should have all their children removed & be charged with endangering the public as well... a sheet of plywood & 2 concrete blocks would have prevented this stupidity... i'm sure they had beer in the fridge !!! yet will claim they couldn't afford wood to cover the whole ???
