I have a family, well, a dad and a couple of kids (sometimes others too), plus various dogs, that show right in front of my house almost everyday and stay for hours, sometimes all day when it's sunny.

They somehow have access on the other side of the river and come across, dogs and all. The kids are young, 5 and 8 maybe, sometimes the kids come over on their own, or the dad sleeps on a foaty.

I have a lagoon (pond in the summer) in my yard from a flood a couple years ago, last year they started playing in it all day, I couldn't even take my dogs out because their three dogs were here. I said something to them about the dogs and the guy said they weren't his, but they stopped playing in the lagoon and the dogs seemed to follow them... even back across the river when they left..????

I say this because they just started showing up again this week, dogs and all, out there right now, have been for several hours.

I don't mind so much that they're out there, but the dad never watches them, and this year he doesn't even bother coming over with them about half the time, they're just on their own. I hate knowing that kids that young are out playing completely unsupervised on a river where people die every year. The water is cold and the youngest one (girl) doesn't wear a life vest most of the time. I end up watching them because I don't want something to happen, but I don't like feeling somewhat responsable for somebody elses kids.
