What is the name of your state? NE
OK, so my neighbor put an electric fence line attached to our shared chain link fence on our shared property line. The electric fencing line is attached to his side of the fence about 6" inside. The only reason for the electric fencing is that his dog will jump the fence if he is not outside with him.
The problem is: my two year old reached through the chain link fence and got shocked. There was no real damage done, but it did hurt him enough for him to cry for 10 minutes. Now, before you say, "just watch your kid", you obviously do not have a 2 year old. They are fast!
I personally think that it is selfish to put up an electric fence that poses a hazard to a neighbors child just because you don't want to watch your dog. But, selfishness is not illegal (if it was, most of us would be in jail).
I live in a stupid podunk town, where the police don't know the zoning restrictions. Seriously, I called the police, and they basically said that they don't know if there is a law, and hung up.
What should I do?
