Poll: Leashing/Harnassing children.

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

For some reason I got an image of using Children on a tread mill to power the house when you said harnassing.

OT: No I don't really agree with it unless very extreme circumstances. I understand it isn't easy but you made the thing you should at least pay attention to it.

yes, leashes should totallllly be used

God Forbid parents should be EXPECTED to keep an eye on their child at all times

Yeah it'd be best if you actually SAW the child get hit bar a car.

Only exception in my view for leashing a child is if the child has a mental disability. Each child behaves differently and even good parents may not be able to control one from running around places, but I believe that is a learning process for the parent and child. You can't watch the child 24/7 and they will do stupid stuff and get hurt, but if you teach them well they will learn quickly.

To me fear is the best leash a parent can use if a child tries to do something wrong or may get them hurt because of his or her age. You can spank them or not, but making sure your child knows who is in charge and not to make a scene is the best you can do. Hell you can treat them like a dog if the dog is trained to know it's place and does not even need a leash. I treat dogs more kindly than most children though... The dogs seem better behaved...

It depends on the situation, really.

Sometimes, It's just used to drag kids around while completely ignoring them.

On the other hand, sometimes it's used to help keep kids with an insatiable thirst for new and interesting ways to get themselves killed alive.

The miss-use of a good thing does not make it a bad thing.

I had a bad habit of hiding from my family when I was younger. And running off. I don't mean just wandering away freely.

More that if you took your eyes off of me for one second, I was gone. Sprinting off to do what the hell ever.

Never had a leash but I figure it helped my mother that my siblings were watching. I'm not sure whether there's ever a justification for using one. But I wonder if it would have made it easier to deal with me back then.

To answer OP's question: People who put their kids on a leash should be burned at the state. In mass quantities. And a crowd should control how much lighter fluid we add.
