child leashes

[Charlotte93]

What do you think of those leashes that parents put on there kids.

I persanaly think that its wrong to put a leashe on your kid like its a dog.

[embers]

>I say it's wrong to put a leash on my baby child at a crowded mall
>I proceed to lose the child when I'm at the mall

[DerBear]

i think it ok as its not really like your making them walk like a dog you know i think up until the age of 4 or 5 until they learn some control and saftey when out as it is rather dangorus as they could run out in the middle of a road or be lost in a town center ect

[RoseyCadaver]

I find it kind of odd,and wrong,but I guess it could be use full if you're in a crowed area.

The only difference between walking a dog and walking a child is the dog will be the one to do its business (on the ground) in public. Making a kid "walk like a dog" doesn't mean anything. The leash has the same purpose either way: to prevent either a child or a dog from escaping, and possibly getting lost, stolen, or killed.

I find it kind of odd,and wrong,but I guess it could be use full if you're in a crowed area.

Or if the kid is an arrogant moron that likes to piss off his/her parents by running off and causing mischief. I welcome the use of a leash, personally. If a child is able to walk on their own and not wander off, then no leash is necessary.

How about parents stop being lazy and actually trying to take care of their kids properly? Or is that just crazy?

So leashes are lazy? Maybe people should start carrying their dogs around and letting them down only to do their business.

id much prefer to see a child on a leash than running into a road cos something catches their attention and then seeing them getting mowed down by a bus, but thats just me :)

I'm not usually for physical punishment (I prefer more along the lines of grounding) but if you have seen the psycho-children who run amok <(super exaggeration) it is fine. I mean, for example, situation one: kid on leash is mad but safe, parents and spectators <(for lack of a better word) are happy. Situation two: parents running after kid like a cereal killer bulldozing through people. Only the kid is happy. Hmmm, happy kid or happy everyone? I choose leash.

Erm..

No, I mean the parents and child are racing to the cereal unaware of the soon to come sound of "clean up on isle seven." Then the impact with the cereal milk and spoons flying, it was cerealoside. Now because of the poor, cold, dead, cereal, I shall weep for years.

Yes I think "Serial" would fit well too though :lol:

[TheMatrix]

Haha. I LOLd for about a minute at that. You've got a sense of humour.

Thanks, to be honest I LOLd for a minute too. I am tired and I get all loco when I am tired. This is the one time when a child leash may appropriately be used on me. Before I kill all the cereal. That would be disastrous.

Bahahahaha.............that was halarius poor dead cereal, and i see your point about protecting the children but, if your in a crouded place y don't you just pick up your child or put him/her in a stroller because i mean seriusly i kid could still get hit by a bus on a leash if their on a sidwalk, and it is kind of lasy cause your basicly like, well i don't feel like watching my kid so I'll just put him/her on a leash and then nothing will ever happen to them.

its not lazy if safe and controling

if a child is say 4 they are a bit big for a stroller and picking them up will solve nothing as they will kick and scream to be let down

leashes = safe

[Weeping]

Sounded pretty "stupid" at first, but I guess it can help sometimes.

Better safe than sorry? (:

[Hope4u]

my parents put somthing like that one me..but because I liked to run off alot..guess it worked..I'm still here...ha ha.

Well, a stroller deprives the child of exercise. It also deprives them of the ability to explore within a reasonable distance. As for buses and what not you can pull the leash back until they LEARN not to go in the road or wander off. With a stroller they don't gain the understanding to not wander away because they are restrained.

Not to mention the size difference where child leashes can be used for until a higher age than strollers. The leashes are cheaper than strollers. And who would be so low to put a four year old child in a Godzilla stroller?

[embers]

Responsible parenting > humiliating and draconian easy fixes

Responsible parents can make mistakes, and they probably can't help it if they've got a hyperactive child that likes to roam away.

[Sage]

Responsible parents can make mistakes

Anything can happen, so why not just make children wear fucking knight armor and bulletproof vests? I'm sick of this culture we're breeding wherein any and every chance of getting hurt has to be avoided by absurd, extreme, overly-protective solutions.

Yes, but it's likely that if you take your child into a mall you can lose them in the crowd, responsible or not. I wouldn't put a leash on my child, but I wouldn't blame somebody who did (in a crowded area).

if you are taking your child to a crowded mall then shouldn't you be either holding them or holding their hand or something?

There's always the highly probable scenario where you let go, even if for a moment. That could lead to them getting lost.

[DerBear]

I will give you a scenario

This is out of a game but its typical ok

Heavy Rain

little boy aged 5 goes and asks his dad for a ballon dad lets his son down of his back so the boy can hold the ballon and walk man lets go of sons arm then man cant find the money to pay for the ballon at this time the man is strugling to find his wallet boy runs away out of the shopping centre and gets hit by a car

boy dies

now all be it this is from a game it is easy and it does happen in real life simillar things like this happens all the time kids run away from parents

a leash prevents this

[MilitemDilectam]

Some people find it humiliating because a leash is commonly associated with dogs. I wonder what would happen if it was first used on kids and then brought to dogs..

Anyway, I go either way..if your kid is hyperactive..and it gets too hectic for you..maybe a leash is called for

What I don't wanna see is parents tugging on the leash and treating their kid like they're on Dog Whisperer

[Breath-of-air]

What do you think of those leashes that parents put on there kids.

I persanaly think that its wrong to put a leashe on your kid like its a dog.


I think it is hysterical and very very good. ^^ haha

My mum used it on me and I used to pretend to be a dog and crawl around barking. It reall adds to my character. :)

I am totally using it on my brats. Not that I have any but ya know.

[CyanideGoodnight]

I think in some cases it's pointless, but in others I can see how it's helpful for over hyperactive kids. A "pointless" case would be something like this, I once watched a woman have her child get out of a car, put a leashe on the kid, and walk a total of one small block to a house. The mom could have just as simply held the kids hand for that short walk

[FearsomeEnder]

O.O i think there weird i saw 1 of those a little while ago and if you have to put a leash on your child to keep him from disappearing then your probably a bad parent 1 because you cant keep your child supervised 2 you cant just hold their hand? 3 you have a leash on the kid you are obviously abusive if your not im sorry but dude its a leash kids arent dogs thier a bigger responsibility then a dog.

[Hatsune Miku]

Or you know, you could just hold your kids fucking hand? Or maybe carry them? How about being family oriented and giving them a piggy back ride or something? But a leash, what the fuck is this, kiddie bondage?

I think however useful they are to some people, they look stupid. I would be embarrassed. I think it makes you look like you don't know what you are doing.

I'm sorry, but I lol'd at "Kiddie bondage" xD. If your kid is a little brat and will get lost in a crowd, okay a leash is excusable. But if you are gonna be putting leashes on little Bobby for walks around the block....that's just plain stupid and lazy parenting.

[Death]

This thread reminds me far too much of the lo-jack one and I find it difficult not to think that it is portraying children as property, which seems pretty excessive. I mean I get its usage for very young children who may not be as inhibited as they "need" to be, but isn't that what push chairs are for? I mean you're not actually going to have older children leashed to their parents (i.e. destroying what little freedom they might have) are you?

if youre kid is a little brat punish him so that he doesnt wander off. I hate little brats that dont do what their parents tell them (unless what the parent says is wrong) and back talk people all the time. the parents should be able to control their children without having to put restraints on them.

well if you cant tell me why i am wrong then by all means do so.

apart from leashes being seen as related to a dog i dont think they are bad they help and infact just today when i was at the shopping center with some friends. A woman was runing after her child luckly the child bumped into me as i was looking at the window display and talking to my mates and as we were next to a big open doorway and just beond that door way was a road i think a leash would of avoided that but maybe they are bad but a lot of good can outweigh some of the bad

Pointless and not needed.

And despite the fact I still feel they are fine circumstantially I would like to clarify a simple holding of the hand usually will suffice. And for those of you people throughout the world who are freaked by distance from your child you should like holding their hand more than a leash because it severely restricts their movement in relation to a leash.

child leashes are not a problem they keep a kid safe at the end of the day. and half the time the kid is not even aware of a leash

[Awesome]

They really only use those kid leashes on ADHD or special needs kids to stop them from running away. Having your kid on a leash is better than your kid missing. Though these leashes really aren't nessacary past age 5.

I've seen kids who literally refuse to take a step because they were forced into a leash.

I was at the town center a few days ago and i looked ovcer at trhis kid who was on a leash she was maybe 4 or 5 and she was fine happy just walking along at her mothers side sometimes moving over to look at a shop window. They looked happy

Doesn't mean she was. And by five I wouldn't have thought one would even require a leash. Is she really incapable of walking by herself?

I know from personal experience that some parents are flat out paranoid.

You know, on the assumption that such a task as following someone without a leash is too difficult (which might not be the case), I would find it safe to say that the mother making her go everywhere with a leash in the first place might contribute to that (i.e. something of a chain reaction). She should get her to start walking without one, the sooner the better.

Yeah, but I am just saying some parents are so concentrated on certain factors that they forget the big picture.
