Suppose the Ainleys are excavating part of their property in anticipation of building a new home. They are aware that some of the local school children cut across their property on their way home and that they could fall in some of the trenches that have been dug in that part of their land.

Based on this scenario, answer the following questions.

1) If Robin, a six-year-old boy, falls in one of the trenches and injures himself, are the Ainleys liable even though Robin was clearly trespassing on their property?

2) Suppose that as the home is being constructed, some of the construction workers leave planks of plywood out over the weekend, and Robin and his friend use the planks as skateboarding ramps. Are the Ainleys liable for the injuries Robin sustains when he tumbles off his makeshift skateboarding ramp?
