Is it right to put your child on a leash?

children backpacks with leashes image

I'm not kidding, I was at the store and I saw a dad with a leash or some kind of rope on his little girl, it was around her neck, and the dad was pulling the rope with his hand like he was walking a dog or something. The girl was probably like 3 or 4 I'd say. Ok I think that's kind of messed up, she was treated like a dog? I don't think anybody should put a leash on their kid.

Answer
I do not agree at all with the leash around the child's neck. That is very dangerous. I do however like the little backpacks that they have for children who run alot that have a little leash on it. The backpack will be like a monkey or some kind of animal so the child will like to wear it. and it has like a long tail, or leash so you can make sure that your child does not run away, get lost, or kidnapped. Some people say that they are cruel and that you should not do that to a child, but it's alot safer than loosing your child in a crowd, and definitely better than putting a dog leash around a childs neck!

What do you think about putting toddlers on "leashes"or harnesses?

I was at the fair last night and saw a bunch of kids on leashes or harnesses. It was like a cute little kitty or bear backpack thing. It looked pretty cute plus it's a great way to keep your children safe. I used to be against those because they actually looked so inhumane but now they're cute and the straps are wider so it doesn't look like it would be uncomfortable. What are your opinions on this????
This comment is to samantha24.... Do you think that it's better for a child to watch his/her mom get punched in the face than it is to have them on a leash for a few minutes. Who are you to set down a law and punishment for something so pety?

Answer
I have one because my hubby and I go out to alot of places where there's alot of walking - like all day adventures to major outlet malls, county fairs, Disneyland, etc. My 15 month old gets fussy from being penned up in her stroller for hours. I love to let her out to walk - but I dont want to let her totally free to dart out in front of a car or other people or grab some poisionous plants in a planter, etc.

Basically I only use it to let her stretch her legs and I have to watch her so much more than when shes securely in her stroller. Also - Im a little paranoid about someone snatching her up and running off with her - and when she's on the leash - I know would-be bad guys will see than Im RIGHT THERE and not try anything bad.

I really hate the people who use the harnesses and then ignore what the child is doing. I see this all the time with people shopping in the malls - the mom is looking at one rack and then the kid is destroying the next rack over but the mom has no idea because she feels overly secure in her child's location - just because its on the harness.
