Not here. We do have gates with almost all pools
and even a gate doesn't stop the worst of them.

I was talking about locks, and on things that cannot be scaled, like a
front door to a house.

That's the kid's problem. And their parents for not simply teaching
them to swim. Pools here don't generally have fences. Kids can
either swim or aren't stupid enough to go into a pool when they can't.

In most US states a fence or other barrier is required around pools.
There are plenty of rules about fence height, latch height, gates must
open out and be self latching.
If you have a compliant fence and a kid still gets in, you have a
pretty safe position if they try to sue you.

You lot really need to grow up and stop blaming each other for
everything. Someone falls in a pool, it's THEIR fault, nobody else's!
Are you all retards who can't look after yourselves?

Fine by me. Shakespeare was right, "kill all the lawyers"

they had them back then?

Yep, they have been around forever.
Even the romans had them.

I thought the Romans were more sensible than that.
