And then their parents always want to sue the quarry when someone drowns. It's posted, fences, so stay out or suffer the consequences. This has been going on every since there was a quarry at this location. How many drownings during previous years. It IS NEWS, so that someone may just read it and decide it is not worth swimming there.

Well, it's sort of kids having fun, but it is usually more like a group drinking, drugging and swimming a extremely dangerous places.
Those quarries are beautiful, very historic, and exceedingly dangerous. Plenty of kids and young adults have spent their final, terror-filled seconds of life, dying in those quarries, and many of them quite stupidly.
Moreover, those quarries are all private propery and the owners have gone well out of the way to block access, and to post of the dangers. If you were the owner, how would you feel about a bunch of rowdies continually ignoring your right to keep them off of your own land?
