Given the state of the child welfare system in Victoria (and probably other states) they should have higher priorities than even going out to check on an electric fence erected by a very concerned mum.

A neighbour has a fence around her house to fence in her horses. The top bit has an electrified bit (as an ex city dweller, I'm really not up with the jargon) The fence faces the road/footpath. There are numerous children who play, walk and cycle in this road who would potentially go to say hello to the horses and potentially get a shock. My own children included. I'm sure some people would complain to the horse owner that their poor children could get shocked. We live in the real world. One little shock is not going to do a great deal of damage and will teach my child not to go sticking her hands where she shouldn't.
