No harm done. Kid’s in a harness, and it’s not around its neck. I think a kid on a leash in a harness is an EXCELLENT idea. Keeps them from running off. If they’re going to throw a tantrum like that, the best thing is to just leave the store, throw the kid in the car and then go home. As far as being “humiliating” to the child–the more the better when they act like this. I see no problem with making them see what their bad behavior results in, any more than I do with a good spanking. Time out is the bane of existence—ever since some child psychologist came up with their psycho-babble BS about “spanking is abusive”, we’ve had nothing but generations of brats. Time out needs to go. Spanking is NOT child abuse, nor is dragging this brat through the store on a leash. We need MORE discipline, not LESS. It’s why society in general is in the toilet–no one gives a rat’s rear on how to raise their kids any more and lets them do ANYTHING. Good for this mom. Too bad so many idiots are screaming “child abuse”. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Biotch, please.
Yes kids throw tantrums but the right thing to do would be to pick him up and say no this is not okay to throw fits and leave the store maybe go to the car until the tantrum is done. gees, I hate seeing kids with those leashes on, learn how to HOLD your kids hand !!! Yes kids run away that’s why you need to keep an eye on them at all times and discourage running away from mom and dad! ugh.. what has this world come to?
OH COME ON NOW..SOME KIDS JUST NEED TO BE TOUGHT A LESSON..IF UR NOT GONNA WALK YOU GOING THIS WAY-IT’S NOT LIKE SHE HITTING ..OR 0OF COURSE ADD “GET UP”..PLAIN N SIMPLE..SOMETIMES THE LEVAL OF STRESS THAT A CHILD DOES ISNT GOOD FOR THE PARENT AND TANTUMS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED NO MATTER WHERE U GO HOME OR IN PUBLIC.TOO MANY MOTHERS AND FATHER GOOGOOING AND GAGA’ING AND TOO MUCH BABY TALK -ISNT ALWAYS GOOD.AND GIVING AND LETTING ALSO!!! SOME GOOD OLD FASHION’D PARENTING DOESN AND SHOULDNT HURT!
EXACTLY. ‘Nuff said. Parents coddle their kids WAY too much and none of them have any manners any more as a result. “Time out” is just psychological B.S. Spanking works as long as you’re not beating your kid—not a thing wrong with it. I got spanked about 3 times as a kid—I didn’t NEED to be spanked any more than that, because I knew that if I misbehaved, I would be spanked. I was a good kid anyway, but this just sort of reinforced it. Kids need a good smack once in a while, and we need to get rid of “time out”.
Christina your very right.
People should be teaching thier kids about safety and what could happen if they run off…..
Although, there are some kids that are just Mental! I dont know how but all the spanking in the world wouldnt teach them so to put them on a leash as a last resort for thier safety…I think is reasonable. After all, I would rather have my child of a leash if they could not be ‘controlled’ than have them run in front of a car.
Leashing kids is demeaning. My sister and I were NEVER on a leash because our parents taught us to STAY WITH THEM AT ALL TIMES and used proper discipline with us–teaching us the rules, the right way to behave, and then reprimanding or even spanking us if we disobeyed them. We did have strollers until we were about 3, and after that, we were expected to obey our parents.
My nephew has been put on a leash at age 2. I think it’s disgusting. Yes, the little guy has a tendancy to run off, but his parents also have very lax discipline tactics. They don’t give their children consequences very consistently, so a leash gets used instead. They claim spanking is “wrong,” but yet using a leash is justifiable. They also have tackled my niece like a football in order to hold her still long enough to brush her teeth. How about TEACHING her how to do it? Ugh.
I totally disagree with child leashes. They are for pets, not people.
I used a harness and leash on my first child because she’d take off running, right into the street. Only had to use it twice. If she didn’t stop, I’d **** down on the leash, making her sit suddenly. Third time, she stopped at the curb, waited for me, and reached for my hand to cross the street. Smart 2 year old!
Really, the set up should be a training item only!
I’ve used the harness/leash on my daughter. She was 18mos at the time, we were on a lay over during a Cross Canada flight, at Pearson Airport. It’s very busy, and it would have been criminal to force her into a stroller after being forced to sit for 4hrs already. So, I put a harness on her and let her wander around safe and sound. I didn’t pull her around or anything..If anything she dragged ME around lol.
This happened right down the street from my house, it was on the news. The mother was arrested for child endangerment. When questioned as to why she did it, she said she was very sick and the kid wouldn’t stop screaming…so she dragged him around the store (as if THAT helped!).
This is unacceptable. I am 23, and not yet a mother, though my boyfriend has a 6 year old little girl. I can’t imagine EVER dragging her around like that– it’s just cruel. Be a parent, pick up your **** kid, and remove him from the store!
I didnt ever leash my child, but I did spank him, ONLY if he was bad. BUT I would say that had I leashed him-I don’t think I’d drag him through a store. UNLESS everytime we went somewhere he was falling down expecting to get (the wrong kinf) of attention from me. Then yes-I’d ignore his behaviour and keep on walkin….This lady on the other hand just seemes ******….
When i was like 3 i was put on a leash/harness type thing but it was for my own could as i loved sprinting off away from my parents and doing my own thing like touch everything

it’s not staged – i’ve seen a lot of parents do this.
the first time i saw this, i was so appalled that i walked up to the parent and asked her why she find the need for to leash her children. she told me to mind my own business, and that i won’t understand what it’s like having to handle three kids all at once.
i told her that other people can cope, so if she can’t then maybe she shouldn’t have had so many.

I have no problems with the leash, but dragging your kid around like that is a terrible thing to do even if the child is annoying you for a bit.
a leash should not go around a child’s neck they are not dogs.
Most kids age one through ten in America mise well be treated like pets.
Christina your very right.

Can’t help but play freak on a leash in my head watxhing this.
Go mom! Don’t let the kids tell you who’s boss.

lazy mom
Leash okay. Dragging your kid through a store—not ok.
When i was like 3 i was put on a leash/harness type thing but it was for my own could as i loved sprinting off away from my parents and doing my own thing like touch everything
[…] guess there could be a debate on whether or not even putting your child on a leash is parent fail, but when you take that leash and tie it up to a chair or fence, there really is no […]
looks like the kid was enjoying it.
looks like she banged the kids head on the corner of that display booth
I believe that more parents should leash their kids. It’s a great idea.
I also believe in whipping. It’s time for whipping to make a comeback
I have no problem with kids on a leash but OMG dragging the child around? I wonder if the cops were called.
it’s not staged – i’ve seen a lot of parents do this.
the first time i saw this, i was so appalled that i walked up to the parent and asked her why she find the need for to leash her children. she told me to mind my own business, and that i won’t understand what it’s like having to handle three kids all at once.

So very staged.
Someone was probably having a bad day, but that is absolutely no excuse
