  • This seems like a silly experiment. I see leashes on very small children all the time, but the parents don't do it to older children, and they certainly don't tie them up to a pole in the street. What exactly is ABC trying to prove? That if you create some sort of outrageous spectacle people are more likely to react?

  • FIRST OF ALL WHY DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CUPCAKE AND 2 KIDS?

  • 3:00 its inbrasing for them it teach them not to be bad

  • @hussassin98 its embarrassing how you cant spell "embarrassing"

  • @MrSteezy1542 because iam not good at spelling and iam 13

  • Bwahahaha! I am impressed how they managed to top it again and again. When she finally tied up the children while taking the DOG into the store I just laughed hysterically XD

  • why do these people hate dogs so much?

  • Wow. The people laughing and video taping/taking pictures of the children have some really messed up minds. Seriously guys what's america turning into...

  • I don't see why some of these people got so upset. She was just doing that for a safety reason, it's still true that people can untie them and try to take them while she was in the store, but it's still a smart idea. I've never even thought of that before.

  • HAHAHAHAHA

  • the only time i had a child leash on was when i was 1 and we were on a long distance cruise ship...they wanted to be able to "reel me in" if i fell over board. lol so sometimes theyre ok others...its just wrong

  • 4:30 buddy just wanted a funny facebook pic

  • @ImColinKS He looks smart enough to know facebook sucks.

  • the woman at 7:00 is worried if the kids got a cupcake instead of them on leash!

  • My brother and I were EXTREMELY hyper growing up and never sat still when we were out with our parents at the mall etc. We had wrist 'leashes' when we were about 3-4, until we were able to calm down a bit and behave haha. But my mom never told us to heel or tie us up to poles lmao. That's another type of insanity.

  • lawl,to those who support "the leash".go ask those children if they like to tie up like animal.For a kid to develop well they need to be free.

  • wtf their mom has mental issues !!! she prolly beats her kids to,, this makes me mad !!

  • @monique2915 it's not their real mom. they are all actors who are getting paid to do this expirement.

  • I would not say anything if I saw kids on leash because I would think the kids were probably running off and getting into things. However if I see kids tied to pole I would call the cops. Kids sometimes need to be on harnesses in order to keep them from running off and getting taken.

  • I should probably say harness

  • My parents put me on a leash when I was little but that was because I kept running off to area where I was not allowed to go. I was very fast and I got into every thing when I was little

  • first of all, why do you only have one cupcake and two kids 7:07. LOL

  • lmao the guy holding the leash was my teacher..

  • Forget the kids on the leash, why'd she only have one cupcake!? lol

  • CRAZY CUPCAKE WOMAN

  • Woman knows how to get shit done.

  • @kao123456654 LOOOOOL

  • why the hell was that women so concerned with cupcakes!?

  • I bet there are women on leashes in the middle east right now

  • @1984serpiente um thats a bit racist wouldnt ya say????

  • lol, brown man knows it's not his business to butt in parent's decisions..

    BEATS SON!

  • Ha ha. That was funny the way the 9-1-1 operator answered the phone like stoner dude.

  • My mom had my sister and I on leashes when we were little. She had a bad leg and couldn't keep up with two very fast little girls who liked to explore.

  • This is such a fake! The girl who said she was tied on a leash in her life, is the same actress in the "Boyfriend wants girlfriend to wear less" what would you do episode. Or am I wrong?

  • @jonasfanlovers this is a demostration

  • THE CUPCAKE IS A LIE.

  • My mom used to always do that to me when I was little.

  • I spent a couple years "on the leash"...actually my parents preferred to call it a "harness". Apparently I had this problem where when I would get in any Mall, I would run and hide in the clothes dept lol. Anyways, i wasnt traumatized by being on a leash and it likely saved my life a time or two. Who knows?...but if they tied me to a pole, thats where id start to have a serious issue!

  • This is a white mama thing. Ain't no black or latino mamas pulling kids on leashes. 

  • @HyperAndHappy that's uh.. that's still racist. and spreading racism.. and all that.

  • @sehrule The majority of the time, It's true. 

  • "thats why white kids grow up and kill everybody in the damn school" -katt williams

  • no you don't themaninicole

  • Yo where I'm from I see this crap all the time

  • This show is the shit!

  • I remember my mother did this with me. She did this because I loved to explore and so that I didn't wonder off and get lost. But I was like, three. And she still treated me like her daughter. You shouldn't treat your children like animals, it's just inhumane.

  • This episode is more Candid Camera than What Would You Do

  • putting kids on leashes sound fine to me

  • She should also have a plastic baggy to pick up their poop.

  • fake...

  • haha only in US,children is treated like dogs.and dogs being treated like human

  • @gachetbietdi Take it down a notch will you. Putting kids on leashes or harnesses is not the worst thing in the world. It actually does keep them safe. Kids like to explore and most of time they don't pay attention to what they are doing. Now putting on a pole is child.

  • @gachetbietdi abuse

  • these people piss me off...IM CALLING THE POLICE...like that'll do anything, dumb retards

  • "thats why god gave you children." hahaha that lady is so fucking stupid

  • If a Man did this they would be put in jail!!!!!!!

  • This seems like such an exaggeration. That what I dislike about these programs.

  • Hahaha she only cares about the cupcake XD

  • 1:20 "You white people need to quit putting your kids on leashes, cause it's just entertainment for black people." ~ Katt Williams

  • @EspioChaos Haha silly white people XD

  • It took all of 5 min to research enough about this to make me shake my head and decide that any parent who uses a leash is lazy, ignorant and maybe abusive.The person who is most likely to be the inventor was Charles E. Croatan Whitmeyer (April 17, 1918-March 27, 1975) was an ILLITERATE undertaker, bootlegger, inventor, turned state legislator from North Carolina. His nickname Croatan came after he invented one of the first known child leashes.

    Would you follow this as a good parenting practice.

  • @firespinnr Oh shut up you don't know what you are talking about. Kids tend to run off and explore which is dangerous that leaves to kidnapping. It hard for a parent to keep kids if you have more then one.

  • the last woman seems like a great mum

  • WHY IN THE WORLD IS SHE WORRIED ABOUT THE CUPCAKE?!!!!

  • i was on one of those

  • Comment removed

  • that teenager at 4:58 is acc beautifull <3

    

  • "do you want a cupcake?" :p

  • i dont agree that its "abuse" but i do think its wrong.

  • @iWannaBeAdopted1 its definatly abuse. abuse of parental role.

  • cut the umbilical cord alread--what? oh, thats a leash? nevermind. X)

  • @iWannaBeAdopted1 I laughed so hard XD

  • HEEL!!!

    hahahahaha i burst out laughing :P

  • smart teen!

  • 'this video is most popular with 45-54 year old males' ???? press the statistics??

  • is it really so difficult to hold your child's hand? are you really that lazy or consumed in yourself that you can't take a second to hold them, instead of tying them to ropes like nothing other than dogs? i despise them.

  • Omg I saw this in real life and I was SHOCKED!

  • My mum had a lead for my older sister when she was a toddler. I don't agree with that, and my mum just said it didn't do any good because my sister used to just sit down and not move lol.

  • heheh. My mother tells me she used to sometimes have me on a leash because I'd run off everywhere. I had a great childhood. I'm Australian.

  • @sirmoglok just for walking around in busy places for a year or two, wasn't like she tied me to a post or anything like you would do a dog.

  • This is so inhumane

  • @V904T too bad we cant adopt this for niggers and there kids lol

  • @MrWolfwar2 Too bad racist douche bags like you exist.

    Die. I truly hope you die.

  • @MrWolfwar2 LMAOOOOO

  • @MrWolfwar2 wth is your problem i am not a nigger i am a african american you are disgusting and horrible i hope you get what is coming to you

  • @lorchesca - I feel bad for people who are still racist in the Year 2012. It's sad that they can't see each person for what they are, you miss out on meeting some incredible people. Glad I don't have that problem =)

  • @JMTGeorge well thanx = } and me 2

  • @MrWolfwar2 - black guy dating your daughter or something? LOL

  • proof that SOME/MOST people are ASSHOLES!

  • that nigaa was gonna send that shit out and put on youtube lol

  • ofocurse it's americans. only americans have trouble doing something people have been doing for thousands of years.

  • This woman has two children attached to a leash and and she asked "Why do you have one cupcake and two kids?"

  • @Westsalvation0052 lol :D right

  • Who on earth invented leases for children anyway?

  • the girl at 1:36 is one of their actresses , what the fuckk ??

  • ITS ACTING PEOPLE!!

  • Sad but I had to endure something like this but worse. Long story short I drove past and they had him with a collar around his neck and the leash was tied to the porch. Not only that but it was cold outside and he had no coat or jacket on. I took pictures sent them to a friend of mines who works for child services and gave them the rant of their lives they don't even fucking look at me now. They deserved every word of it too how can you do something that disgusting?

  • i fucking hate people who do this. i know this is staged but some assholes really do that!! its alright if your child has a form of mental illness or something like adhd but even if that is the case you dont tie them to poles thats just fucked up

  • ok that is a form of child harrassment

  • well...I would confront the mother about it too... I mean c'mon.. the girl is so pretty and cute why would she treat her daughter like that? not saying that u can do that to not-so-pretty kids.. erm.. now i sound like im discriminating them...erm...I meant that.. everyone is pretty on their own way...and seeing this mother tying her kids on the pole is just WRONG.

    ps: those kids are good actress and specially the one in part 2:38..she could be a model coz she's cute too :P

  • I used to see these child leashes ALL the time.. I think it was a trend.. I have not seen one in about 10 years!! Maybe it's illegal in Canada? LoL but tying the kid to a pole LMAO wow

  • i can only see a child on a safety leash if they are special needs in a crowded place, and never left unattended and definetly not tied to poles...i agree with the woman who said "if you cannot get a grip on your children you dont deserve to have them" to me that is truly an act of child abuse

  • i dont get it what's wrong with leashing your children? if they misbehave they deserve to be leashed. I would even put them in a cage.

  • @ctiscan then you can go to jail for child abuse and rot there for a few years

  • @fruitsbasketmangalov

    why would I go? I am not doing anything illegal and you cannot tell me how to raise my children! NOBODY CAN!

  • I would never, ever, ever put a leash on my child, nor would I tie them up if they wanted to stay outside!

  • Tell me why the teen who intervines is my cousin!!!! So funny!!!

  • @squidneysing22 Than your cousin is cute:)

  • @828moshi worddd

  • interesting. cool study!

  • I've remember this happening when I was smaller I was small at that time but I still knew it was wrong... I was like wtf? o.o

  • there are some moms out there that are way to protective of their kids which theres nothing wrong that but the only problem is a damn leash for kids that just stupid. u put ur kid on a leash not only is ur kid gonna be made fun of but the mommy who do that kinda crap are gonna look so stupid thats y i say there are some moms out there who taker their over protective of their kids way to far thats y there isalot of crazy ppl in this world

  • @jeffvandam Most of those leashes are used for toddlers. Most parents these leashes on their kids to keep them for wondering off or from being kidnapped.

  • i'd cut the leash.

  • don't you want cupcakes?

  • Children should not be allowed outside unless they are on leashes, so it makes perfectly good sense.

  • Comment removed

  • that teen's so hot!!!

  • you shouldn't treat dogs like that either :P

  • Everytime i watch this show, it makes me so proud of some of our people!

  • awh the teeen is cute!

  • the boy who took the photo is hot ;P....

  • that boy that took the photo is pretty cutee

  • That is child abuse, what she is doing. Neglect, child endangerment

  • She should not have kids.

  • @crazymonkee92 its all acting

  • @ItzCrazeee Doesn't matter. Any parent who does this, is not a responsible parent, and does not deserve to have them. Give them to someone else who knows what they're doing as a parent

  • @crazymonkee92 i agree with you 100% !

  • Comment removed

  • it's kind of the lady that she confronts the lady having only one cupcake while she has two children, but that's not the main case here.

  • once saw a 15 yr old boy on leash

    didnt know why until he started shouting and swinging for people

    poor guy

  • See we can't assume all teenagers are bad.

  • @TheDynamicduo14 YEAH BUT ITS JUST WAHT WOULD YOU DO oops caps srry.:P

    its not real, but some ppl really do, do this

  • @superpup2255 I know some kids that need to be put on a leash. But then that leash should be let go in the middle of an Interstate highway at rush hour.

    Fucking stupid kids.

  • I agree with AddictedxToxLIFE. Leashes are not a display of bad parenting. If you're dragging your child along the ground, YES it's abuse. If you're tying your child to a pole, YES it's neglect. But like Addicted said, some kids do have ADHD, down syndrome and other things that may cause them to run off. What are you going to do, shun them from society?

  • ONLY ONE CUPCAKE!

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with leashes, but I don't agree with leaving them on a pole...Or getting one cupcake when you have 2 children! O_O the monstrousity! The horror!

  • @AddictedxToxLIFE leashes are very bad parenting, its inhuman because children arent little fucking animals you can just snap a leash on and treat like a minority!

  • @RLSEI I'm not saying treat them like a minority or like animals, so stop yelling at people and get that stick out of your ass. I'm saying leashes are a good thing because some kids (esp. ADHD ones and other kids with short attention spans) have the tendency to run off everywhere and even if you see them run off some parents can't catch them. Some parents don't see them run off and then their kids get killed or kidnapped.

  • @AddictedxToxLIFE hahahaah

  • Guys, watch the whole thing! Its fake!

  • @airbus417 what do you mean its fake?

  • OMG - Just ONE Cupcake - This is horrible! Oh, the leash - well, modern times, I guess - But the CUPCAKE thing - no.

  • why do you have one cupcake and two kids LOL...that is not even the issue!

  • I Would Call The Damn Cops

  • What about slave collars?

    You only get it if you play Fallout.

  • i understand the leashes sort of, but dont tell your children to "heel".

  • shouldnt they be able to untie that?

  • Seriously this is no big deal. Like kids care. I knew of a guy that lost his daughter because she ran into the street. No matter how discipline kids get they get hyper and run around and run into things all the time. But yea tying them up to a post outside a big no no.

  • @LupDomnitor the kids do care! leashes are inhuman! they arent animals! were YOU put on a leash as a child? did YOU care?

  • @RLSEI No I wasn't, because my mom spanked me when I was out of line. But my opinion is bias since I dont know anyone that has worn those nor have I worn anything like that. But according to the woman on this video she was put on the leash and she was fine. =I

  • How about electric collars? :)

  • The first time I saw this was at Six Flags in Chicago. All the women who had their kids on a leash were dressed very trashy.

  • Totally respect the teen, he could roll with my crew anytime.

  • They should do a skit where they have little dog bowls for the children to eat out of as well.

  • lololol...the mom is stupid and weird but its not hurting them come on

  • It is sad to say, but I did tell a few women to put their kids on leashes. They were that bad.  I have dogs and they behave a lot better than them.

  • never seen this before in my life. apart from toddlers on leashes.

  • wdf then what are animals to yall if kids cant be on leashes since its so bad then why are animals on leashes duh it dont make sense animals and humens WERE CREATED THE SAME WAY SO YEAH and btw abc bitches i notice that everyone is saying their not dogs fuck up its bad to put both on leashes duh now no comments back

  • omg its justin bieber/teen

  • What a doucebag. Why would you take a picture as a joke? take a picture of that bald head....mr clean looking ass

  • @femalegamer57 lol true

  • @femalegamer57

    because if u put a funny caption and submit it on 9gag it could trend!

  • lmao...the lady doesn't give a sh*t; she just wants to make sure the cupcake is split evenly between the three of them. All whilst that other lady is freaking out and talking to the police. Weird!

  • @Christine29LuvMe she bought the cupcake for the dog okay? lol

  • Hahaha the cupcake lady is hilarious

    

  • and then another lady asks a key question "first of all, why do you only have one cupcake and two kids?"

  • im sorry but i just gotta say this.. 4:38 baby baby baby ohhhhh!!!!! baby baby baby noooooo!!! LOL
