Attractive nuisance.
see nuisance.
attractive nuisance
A dangerous condition that may attract children onto land, thereby causing a risk to their safety. See ATTRACTIVENUISANCE DOCTRINE. "[T]he doctrine acquired the unfortunate misnomer 'attractive nuisance,' a label which persists to this day. It cannot be taken literally, since the courts have now largely rejected the notion that the child must be attracted by that which injures him, and whether or not the condition is in fact a 'nuisance' has nothing at all to do with defendant's liability to the child." Edward J. Kionka, Torts in a Nutshell 89 (2d ed. 1992).
