The terms of art are 'contributory negligence' and 'attractive
nuisance'.   If you leave your swimming pool unlocked, and a 
neighborhood child invites his friends over for a swim (without
your permission) and someone drowns, YOU would definitely go to
prison in most jurisdictions I know of.

I have just posted a Best Current Practice addressing this matter
but it seems not to have gone through.  I expect to repost for
comment shortly.
