ALPHARETTA, Ga. (MyFOX ATLANTA) - An Alpharetta mother discovered a hazard in her own backyard when her little girl nearly fell into an abandoned well.

Vicki Brown said her 4-year-old daughter nearly fell into the well when the dirt gave out beneath her and she fell forward.

Brown said she heard rock and dirt falling into the well below. The Alpharetta woman said the well was nearly 15 feet deep and she had no idea it was there.

The Browns said they are now trying to contact the developer to see if the company knew about the abandoned well.
