Charles Smith and Lindsay Pembleton, a couple from Niagara Falls, are in legal trouble after allowing their children to play on the beach.

While enjoying vacation at their beach house, the couple returned to their home and allowed their sons, aged seven and nine, to play a little bit longer, on the condition they stay away from the water.
