I Hate Child Leashes

[Chaitika]

whats even sadder to me is that if it were a dog being dragged unwillingly and sliding across the carpet, people would probably have more sympathy than a human child being ill treated

Consider the nail smashed on the head by this post!

A leash? That's terrible! They should use the shock collar!

I was coming here to say I think that in any circumstance a leash on a kid is ridiculous and was going to mention that at least it wasn't a choker chain, but Wurm ruined it for me.

As a parent, I honestly can say some of you need to have kids before making a call on this, and even then have more then one because not all kids are alike.

1. This is a case of the kid goes limp to get what they want. Most parents know this ploy and honestly I have taken my kids by the arm and dragged them. Not to the extrent that the lady in the video did, but that kid obviously was fine. Child leashes go around the shoulders and chest. My kids do worse to themselves by ruff housing then what that kid got.

2. For those of you who think she should have spanked her child right there, thats the wrong answer. REASON: Because many people have lost touch with reality and can't tell the difference between a beating and a spanking. I have 1 child that doesen't need to be dissaplend hardly at all, and two that time outs and spankings only seem to have 10min effects on them.

I myself have used child leashes, but I have two 5yr olds and a 6yr old. I also live in Vegas which is not a child friendly town. So I am sorry for those of you who think I am a bad parent for having put mine on them when they choose not to listen and run around. I can live with that when my kids make it to adult hood. But may I add I have never drug them by their leases(Which are a monkey on the back style leash).

In short, she was in the wrong. She should have taken the kid to the car and dissaplened him/her(couldn't tell by the video) accordingly.

Who blamed what,are you a parent?I am and I am well aware of how a child can act out in public in order to get what they want, some parents fall for it and some dont but dragging them around,is that what you would have done?

i am a parent i have a 10 year old daughter and if you look the child is on a smoth tile floor so would slide around quite easy so i dout it would be hurting the child. NO i would not do it to my own but my daughter know how to pull string to get her own way and it can put you in a rip my hair out kind of mood

Then there isn't much point to spanking them is there? If it doesn't work then find a new avenue of discipline.

Yes they have on both sides of the debate, hence why spanking is so controversial.

I laugh when I see the harness because I think of the Saturday Night Live hyper hypo skit.

So the smooth tiles make it perfectly okay to drag the child?

not for full time use though. I think they should be used when in crowded places a child could get lost in.

My older cousin would run off into big crowds all the time when she was younger. She needed a leash back then.

I don't agree with child leashes. Leashes are for animals, not children.

Would they be usable on animal-children hybrids?
