Wells aren't good for children.

They will tell you; "it is the will of Allah", and still leave it unprotected for another person that their god doesn't like to fall inside.

Go ask Sanusi.

Northerners and open well are like 5&6, even though it kills them, they still don't learn protective measures in tackling the situation.

Just as southerners and boreholes are like 5 and 6.
