When did we start treating our children like dogs?

[SpeedDemon3870]

i love how all the people here see nothing wrong with this...guess that leaves me singled out for disagreeing with everyone else lol but idc what anybody says about my opinion so if all the high-and-mighty people wanna step out and bitch at me, go right the fuck ahead! :)

the child leash has no common sense what so ever. its extremely degrading and treats a kid less than a human citizen, but rather an animal. it is pure symbol of lazy, ignorant parenting.

[SpeedDemon3870]

@geckohead135 maybe it's because that is actually what their described as? dude, you clearly need some educating. go look up the defintion of leash and you might learn something.

[jeepgirlie70]

SAFE LITTLE GUY!

[jeepgirlie70]

answer to question: when predators ,sickos , kidnappers started coming out of everywhere and we wanted to keep our kids safe (oh yhea, and kids who like to hide and run away from parents) especially if more than 1 kid!

[geckohead135]

when did we start assuming leashes are only for animals?

[wintersbaby2083]

maybe if more parents did this i wouldn't have had to watch some kid fall off the edge of the grand canyon.

[WarCriminaI]

@PPLfromFR 10 RETARDS cant Spell

[SonnyREast]

A leash for a child?

That's interesting , yet degrading.

[iveena]

My son actually liked his harness. He didn't have to hold all the time, he had some moving room and he LOVED rapping himself around my legs if I didn't move fast enough for him. Ask most pediatricians, they like child harnesses too. Our doctor saw at least two dislocated shoulders a week because a parent yanked their child's hand to keep them back.

[feh2]

Easy: When they started acting like untamed dogs with no sense.

Take a Lesson: beat some sense into your goddamn brats.

[KaylaS999]

Since we started caring more about them being abducted. All it takes is for a parens to look away for one second and if the shild stops holding onto them for whatever reason, they could be gone just like that. Seriously, think a little before you start trying to make things seem so awful. I'd rather see a child on a harness than hear about them being found raped and murdered days later.

[shanjo243]

and did you guys know that the child harness has been around since the 1970's? its just more commonplace now cause the world is so much busier then it was back then :)

[shanjo243]

should have seen a lady in the store i work in today - let her 2 year old wander off in the shop unsupervised for over 20 mins. she could have been taken by some sicko and the mother would not have noticed. i would have rather have her child on the child harness rather then destroying the store (which she did) or worse - a pedo taking her away. child harnesses when used properly are good. but i will still look down on a lazy parent who uses it to treat thier kid like a dog.

[Derekinstpete]

When we stopped spanking their butts.

[knucklez92]

the reason children are treated like dogs is because PETA said animals and human are equal

[BricktownBubba]

Thanks for the 17 sec of fat asscrack.

[pufflelover1]

Too fucking bad. This is great parenting. I let my children eat, sleep, and relive themselve's and that's about it. They don't get birthday parties, or any of that shit. I don't care about they're 'social needs'. They're just to turn you into a sappy sap parent.

[catalystleader]

Interesting. I've heard some people argue that the leash is necessary to keep your child from running out into the street, etc.... Is your short little toddler really quicker than you are? If so, then you need to get your fat ass into the gym. lol.

[recita1717]

So if people can keep these little creatures on a leash in public, why can't I bring my dog?

[mmmbad]

A big problem with society today is that they've somehow been brainwashed into thinking that children deserve more respect than anyone else. SINCE WHEN?? The elderly have EARNED respect and deserve it. People of all ages, not just the little crotch-droppings, should be treated well. Kids don't rule my world and never will. Get over yourselves and worship those more deserving!

[mmmbad]

There's nothing wrong with using a leash. The parent keeps the kid close to them that way and safe. The people who are so appalled by the use of leashes are the same ones who will be devastated when their kid is kidnapped because they got away from them. It only takes seconds. Wake up people!

[nycbassist76]

@mmmbad wake up? let me tie a leash to you and yank you on your ass like that...dont want ur kid being kidnapped? then stop being lazy and watch him have him hold ur hand...dont treat your child like a fucking dog

[Faster0]

My mom used to do this to us too. I actually thought it was fun and it kept her from losing us or having us run out in the parking lot being hit by a car or something. People now days are offended by everything.

[mmecharlotte]

Did you know it only takes five seconds for a pedophile or child molester to lure your kid and take off with them? Especially in a crowded area where you're distracted and people are typically apathetic? It happens more that you think, and scarier still, it can happen to any parent, good or bad. A leash on your kid at least prevents them from trying.

[BradleyGA]

@Elonduel Where did you learn to spell?

[BradleyGA]

Thats a silly looking puppy

[joshuabiggies]

lol leashed kid

[knucklez92]

nothing wrong with a leash of your child. its to keep them safe.only people with kids assume that i ts absuive.hold a child hand and carrying doesnt alway work.its easier to just put them on a leash and call it a day

[MrBombr]

@Pippylockstocking how do you know im in Community College Ms. Pretentious Bitch?

[paintedladi]

This is why people have BABYSITTERS! Hold a child's hand, teach them to stay close, and never, never shop in a crowed mall with a young child. Shopping and kids don't mix. If you must shop... take 1 hour max to shop with a child, grocery store, diapers, toilet paper... not clothes and electronics. One parent stays home, the other shops. End of. Parents like this lack common sense AND are lazy. I had 3 kids, I never used a leash. I taught my kids to act right and I never tried their patience.

[MrBombr]

@Pippylockstocking Thanks for reminding me that money buys parenting skill! Any parent who gets this worked up over a simple disagreement on the internet obviously doesn't have the maturity to raise a child.

[MrBombr]

@Pippylockstocking Haha, it's my major and I work at a day-care

[MrBombr]

@Pippylockstocking Your child is banging his head on the parking lot cement.

[MrBombr]

@Pippylockstocking I think the best idea is start parenting and not just give up. It's called the terrible two's for a reason.

[JeremyPassarelli]

Why don't you do something about it?? Report this to the news!

[rougefan9]

I personally don't like leashes because they make you look like Dogs or Animals. I can see if it's for safety reasons but i still don't like them either way. Tell me... how did it get to this point?

[Oleander666]

To answer the question on the title, kids have been on leashes (or rather, leading reins) since BEFORE they were used on dogs. One should be asking when we started treating our dogs like people.

As to child leashes, I have no solid opinion. I think on the one hand, they are seriously abused by some people. On the other hand, they can be a real life-saver for others. I think it's more about they WAY they are used than anything.

[aussiegirlonamission]

Fair enough if you had toddler quads or something but come on !!!

[Indiana1384]

I'm sorry but I'd rather have my child on a "leash" than let them pull away for a split second and end up road kill or taken. Better safe than sorry I say.

[supercellgirl]

We got to that point when the child learned how to walk. They are squirmy and can get loose in a second and dart into the road. Holding their hand is not enough. If you have ever held the hand of a two year old you will know when they want to be fussy and squirmy they can get away.

[BradleyGA]

What ever happened to real parenting?

[smokintheblaze]

i guess holding the hand of your child is outdated? smh.

[ZohrraStudios]

His child was staring right at your camera, if you were not recording him this would have been likely not yo happen, do you have children? Do you know they don't always listen to parents and other older members of the family. Now I'll admit I am not a father but I am an uncle and spend a lot of time with my niece so I have some idea of what it's like to be a dad.

Anyway final point is get some experience before you criticize other parents or your argument is completely invalid.

[seekthetruth6006]

mostly for fat fucktards who can't chase their child around

[lrl1701]

For fat lazy ass people who cant run after their kids . Did he have to yank the kid backwards, hence , like a dog, hence the word LEASH . Never needed one, still dont with a toddler, guess what, he runs , I RUN. simple.

[espezido]

Leashes are normal...Usually they're placed around the wrist of the child and adult. I had one as a kid. I had a nasty habit of running away from my mother in public...it's not cruel.

[aaaapaapt]

woof woof!

[springnicht66]

When did we start treating our children like dogs?

Umm, at least 40 years ago to my knowledge. Maybe more. Kids in reins has been around for decades.

But what, we change the name to 'leash' and suddenly the world is up in arms about it?

[repSCgirl]

Im certainly against child abuse, but this is hardly what i consider child abuse......really guys????.....

[tayuyas1fan]

Mauzbaer I have actually seen a video of someone with there child on a leash in Germany.

[Rayboy9000]

I had one of those when I was little. My mom said I despised it, and escaped it in Disney World.

[Masumen]

sick.. and by sick I mean sick as in sick

[Thecursedpanda]

hahahaha damn kracka child bein dragged around like a lil bitch lol.

[goosenamedbrian]

Do you even know where the word "kracka" came from?

[airmatt86]

the lady in the video sounds like a fucking snitch. needs to mind her own business

[nycbassist76]

@airmatt86 mind her own business? looks like child abuse to me

[airmatt86]

@nycbassist76 he hes crying in pain must be abuse. look at the sad face also he needs to be taken out of that home asap...LOL

[coolwater55]

@airmatt86

Actually, I watched this video. I see him sitting down - not hard. That leash is not tight, it is to prevent him from running off while the mom has a baby in a carriage. The mother is not doing anything wrong. If she was yanking him, I could see it, but she did not.

And how many kids I have seen parents just YANK their little arms.

How many kids I have seen race and interupt a peaceful environment thinking they own the place. How many kids get stolen? Food for thought.

[ncfwhitetigress]

Kids SHOULD be put on leashes. Especially anywhere near traffic.

[PhantomLyric]

Moreover, he wasn't "dragging his child."

It would appear that the father had turned to walk and the child was stilled focused on the device pointed at his face. The father should make it a point of having the child walk in front of him or right beside him, but this was a fluke. Again, caused by the camera person. When I was a child, my mother had mine around our wrists. It aloud me a certain amount of freedom to play safely while she shopped. What would be the difference in her holding my hand?

[riannon101]

We started paying a little more attention to where are children are when we started worrying about the influx of child predators. Like it or not at least this kid was safe with his obviously wacky parents.

[CUSSERKID]

who really cares.. not like dog like leashes anyway. if i was a dog i'd kill anybody who put a leash on me..

[conan900]

Most people commenting on this in a negative way don't seem have children if you go and check out their profiles.

Things that make you go "hmmmm?"....

[teetrainkid]

That's an interesting object of study, the psychological effects of using leashes on children, I bet those effects won't be the best...First because it reveals a completely lack of authority, if not and the child does't respect the limits, the child doesn't need a leash but a psychologist, but can also reveal a "laissez-faire" position by the parents, it's a very easy way to not pay total attention on the child...Or just a matter of fashion...Overall It's moronish!

[PhantomLyric]

I was leashed and I have no animosity or ill feelings about it. I'm 23, in College, respect my parents, and live safely. It's a very easy way to not pay attention to your children, but it's also the best way to avoid your child from being snatched. My guess is that you're not a parent. If you can say you watch your child 100% of the time you're lying. No parent can or does. Otherwise children would NEVER get a boo boo, or get sick because you're super parent, right?

[Principleofevile]

90% of them dont have children and have absolutely no parenting experience.

[Principleofevile]

I really dont think its about being lazy. I for one will totally leash my kid when shes old enough I mean Ive seen on the news thats kids are now getting molested in WalMart of all placesTo me its just another safety precaution, and if used correctly can be quite beneficial. It really bugs when other people feel the overwhelming need to poke their nose in something that is none of their business and its especially annoying because...

[talon115]

If anyone has ever had to keep up with multiple kids in a large area you would understand the logic in a "leash" or harness. If you don't have kids go adopt one then you will be able to criticize.

[picatsoforfma]

My dad took me and my sister to the store and other places since we were babies and never stopped. We never had leashes. Our dad taught us that we needed to always be able to see him and if he called us to get over to him. I was very hyper and I had ADD. You just need to watch your kids because no kids want to be lost in the store.

[Kryptongurl84]

When did we start trating our children like dogs? The day when parents got lazy and invented things such as "time out" instead of giving the child a good ass beating that they need. I think it is wonderful to have a child on a leash until they are old enough to behave. I am so very tired of going to a store and having kids run around like animals. If they can not behave, do not bring them! Think of it this way; you will never have your kid kidnapped, they will always be by your side.

[d63nova]

when i was a kid i got my ass whop but know you go to gail for that so the leash works for wild kids its my son so get over it ps. you dont like it dont look

[tranurse]

my kids held my hand, or i put them in a stroller. first of all, my husband would have gone nuts if i had put them on a leash. second, they just look mean. i agree that it is up to parents to keep control of their children, and to ensure their safety. there are just other ways to do it. and i had 2 toddlers at the same time. i would put my baby in a snugli and my then 3 y/o in a stroller. when they got bigger, i would get a double stroller at the mall.

[homicidalmonkey]

lazy ass trash parents that can't control there kids

[Sumaya54]

I used a leash in crowded places with all 3 of my kids. Back then, there were no seat belts on grocery carts so I used the leash to secure them in the cart. At the mall, if my kids let go of my hand & ran to look at something, I didn't have to worry about losing one of them. The people who criticized me for using a leash were the same idiots who didn't want kids put in a "restrictive" car seat. Bottom line--my job was to keep my kids safe no matter what others thought.

[BradleyGA]

@Sumaya54 and no matter how inhumane. They are children not dogs, you don't need a leash with good parenting.

[Andyiron777]

@Sumaya54 I understand if you have more than 1 kid to watch and if it's at a mall or whatever, but in circumstances like these it's pitiful.

[Sumaya54]

@Andyiron777 My kids held my hands or kept one hand on the stroller, but the harness was there just in case one darted away. This mother clearly did not use the harness as back-up. She used it instead of holding the child's hand. What bothers me as much as the inappropriate use of the harness is that she appears to be pushing a stroller.

[MRLfromhell]

@Sumaya54 carts have seats in them. If you cant control your kids you could put them in that. Then at least you wouldn't look so ridiculous

[Sumaya54]

@MRLfromhell Read again, asshole, my kids were in the carts but with NO SAFETLY BELTS because carts had no belts back then. I strapped them in with a harness or a belt for their safety. When babies and toddlers have not yet learned impulse control, you do a lot of things for their safety. I hope you don't have kids. If you're more worried about looking ridiculous than about keeping a child safe or teaching a child a game, then you don't deserve to have children.

[MRLfromhell]

@Sumaya54 What a shame. Your kids will never grow up as you shelter them from the outside world. They will never have a fulfilling childhood with a parent like you. I feel bad for your kids

[Sumaya54]

@MRLfromhell Wong again. My kids are responsible adults now, with kids of their own. Mission accomplished.

[nycbassist76]

@Sumaya54 aww the puppies have their own litter how cute

[Eximity]

@MRLfromhell

You're a fucking moron. Keeping your children from running into the street or getting lost is sheltering? My parents had to use a leash for my sister because she constantly wandered off. She is now a perfectly normal adult. Using a leash actually gives your child more freedom because you don't have to hold their hand.

[nycbassist76]

@Eximity does she still eat out of a bowel and go outside to shit?

[Sumaya54]

@nycbassist76 -Did you grow up eating out of a bowel? Check your spelling, moron. Check your attitude while you're at it. Your channel clearly shows a lack of maturity, common sense and reality. Cardboard cutouts, are you serious? When you have a life, then feel free to comment about people who have families instead of games & cardboard cutouts.

[nycbassist76]

@Sumaya54 omg really you say i have no life yet you took the time to stalk my channel...get off my dick..so making fun of the fact that i look up photoshop videos (i like looking at all types of videos including videos of bad parents) and made a typo is the best comeback you have? stop treating your children like animals it's embarrassing and it's borderline child abuse

[Serna171]

@Sumaya54 your fucking retarded

[demon515]

Do you know what my parents did when I was little and they didn't want me to run off? THEY HELD MY FUCKIN' HAND! There is nothing wrong with holding the hand OF YOUR OWN KID.

[demon515]

I can't say my parents were the greatest, but the weren't that bad.

[AmberFaithChloe]

It's better & safer for the child to be on leash than to hold hands with it because it's not easy to hold hands the whole time not like the leash. Atleast the parents will know that the child is always with them.

[Fred111000]

Humiliation, constriction and discomfort will harm the child in the future though.

[Chrisspy704]

safer, but not better for the child. It's just better for the parent. And yet, you're still holding on to something. You should let children be independent and walk for themselves, that's why people have eyes.... to watch them.

[shadowgun21]

i can see how it would be helpful to a parent but i find it demeaning to children. i would never use one if i had any kids. i would probably just hold them and carry them. But that's just because i am not a lazy ass who doesn't love my (possible) child enough to save it from embarrassment and hold my own child close into me. But that's just me

[xthisIsstupidx]

there on a leash cuase there bad

[odtgaccount]

HAHA, poor little boy.

yeah, this leash thing is real smart. now we can torture our kids by humiliating them and literally dragging them around. get real

[KarateKidX]

parents too lazy to hold the child by the ear eh?

[hanooter]

holding a child's hand doesnt work 100% of a time.

especially in an airport, where you need to let go of the child for a moment or two to do something because you need both hands. in a busy airport, it wouldnt be hard for a child to get lost in a sea of people in a second or so.

with this "leash" it give you slack so you can still use both hands, but still be able to keep track of the child.

[spartanosia5]

like cat williams said ''White people..please stop puttin those little blue leashes on yo children...that is only entertainment for niggas" LOL

[nimiksap]

The reason why young, squirmy children are putten on a leash keeps them from running into danger, running away or being snatched by perverts. This is a great idea that helps a lot of parents from allowing their children to be independent, while having proper supervision. Sometimes holding a child's hand is not merely enough for a squirmy, eager toddler.

[chrismusial]

what happened to holding a childs hand?

[0157jo]

@chrismusial try holding ur arm above your shoulder for hours then then you'll know wats up!

[JFIdelH]

@chrismusial Obviously this happened. LOL

[jp101195]

the dad dragged him like a ass as if he didnt know he was there

[chrismusial]

i know seriously.

[melonbabeee2005]

What happened to holding the kids hand? jeeez
