I don't think it's right, but I don't disagree. Some children can be controlled to an extent, but at least it shows that parents care,they dont want to lose their child or for them to get hurt. It looks very wrong, I do agree. But I think that it's better than keeping a child locked up inside.  |

what about a sick person that would love to steal that beautiful child away from its loving parents.....I think it is fine cause I would rather live with people thinking I am stupid to put a leash on my child than to loose my child to some sicko!!!  |

I would rather put my kids on a leash than lose them. I have 3 of them, and it's very hard to keep track of all of them at once.  |

I guess it's better than possibly losing your child or worse. In such crowded places it only takes a split second and the child could be gone. So I think it might not look nice but better safe than sorry. Parents can never be to safe these days...Lisa  |

i would hardly call it a leash....i have one of these so called "leashes" for my child when we go out of town to seaworld, sixflags, places like that.....it's a stretchy type cord that latches on to the parents arm or wrist, and at the other end there is a velcro strip that goes around the childs wrist....main point is when you have a child especially a toddler, it is impossible to make them sit in a stroller for a long period of time, so they usually want to get down and walk...in a big crowd of ppl do you know how easy it is to get seperated from your child who doesn't want to hold your hand the whole time? So I honestly don't care what ppl think especially the ones who don't have toddlers. I'd rather know I won't lose my little boy in a crowd and him be scared than to risk it because some ppl think it's wrong....do with your children what you will, and i do what i have to with mine, really it's no ones biz but your own LOVE YOURSELF,  |

Generally speaking, human leashes are wrong. But.... A toddler can get away pretty quick. It's for their own safety. As large and crowded as that place is a split sec could go by and your child could be gone. It doesn't cause any pain, can save their life, the children still have fun, and the parents have a bit more peice of mind. Jetamio  |

Sounds like a lot of people are offering their arguments for both sides of the story. And I agree with them too. It's really up to the parents to see how they would prefer to bring their kids out to play. You can't always have the cake and eat it. --- /*ck*\  |

I know they look bad, and when you call them leashes it sounds bad. But in reality, its safe. Some kids can run off in a flash. And in a crowd, a child can be lost so quickly. I'd rather know that my child was safe, rather than taking a chance in a busy place like D'Land. ~Aussie Girl  |

I agree with the leashes at disneyland, if the kid is too big for a stroller yet not big enough do deal with things on there own. I've seen to many kids get lost there as its so big and all it takes is one person getting in the way and the kid is lost no matter how the parents are trying to watch them. Especially is you have over two kids with you.  |

I don't see it as a "dog leash". That's silly. It is a SAFETY measure, pure and simple, and very good to have in cases where there are large crowds, and slippery, fast moving tots in tow. The Thinker  |

I have a hyperactive child. She was almost killed walking out to get into a car when she took off running for the road. I put my daughter on a leash when she was smaller because it was for her own safety. I took her to the county fair with a leash on. Just because she is impulsive and hyperactive and does not have the thought process that other children have to stop and take that second to think before she reacts does not mean that she should be sheltered away in a hole and not enjoy the things that other kids are allowed to enjoy. She rode all the rides and walked around the fair grounds and got to explore as far as her harness would let her and she did it safely.........Azairyia  |

We went to Great Escape which is a local fun park in my area. It was Myself and my husband and our 2 kids. My sister, her husband and her two kids, and my parents. My niece was 5 my nephew 1 my daughter 2 and my son was an infant. We rented one of the wagons and in doing this I left the "leash" in the car. Well of course you have a 5 year old a 1 year old and a 2year old that did not want to sit in the wagon all day. We stopped to take a rest under a tree in the shade near the Comet rollercoaster. 6 adults and my daughter took off. We couldn't find her! When we finally did find her she was in the shelter standing in line waiting for the rollercoaster. She was next in line to get on and not one of the 50 or so people standing in line took any notice to the fact that there was a 2 year old dangling herself out in front of the tracks, much less the people running the ride. That was last time we went to someplace like that without the "leash".......Azairyia |

wow az, that is something. I like the kind that you can clip on your belt loop and on theres. That way each has some part of freedom and you know when its tuggs to tight, the child has gone or strayed to far. When we went to disneyland last year, I had my 2 year old grandson and the two, 3year old kids in strollers as they tire to easy and I sure cant pack them. The 6 year old was mature enough to not require a leash and stayed by our side at all times. It may not be a wise thing to some, but my grandkids are so scared in a big city after living in the country that, they are affraid kidnappers will get them. LOL, at least it keeps them close by. |
| Date: 4/20/2001 4:45:00 AM Good debat....I have 3 children One is an angel, the other,My step son, Will not stay by your side and dosnt care about his own safety ,he is to old for a leash, a chain couldnt hold him down, My oldest son is 11, at age three he was like a humming bird on crack, he was so hyper, we at times were forsed to stay home or use a leash,FOR HIS SAFETY! And by the way I hated doing it, but I would have hated loosing him more.LOL at some of the responses, LOVE YOUR KIDS, Judi |

And it isn't like it's a leash that goes around the child's neck like a dog. If I ever have another child I would use one in very crowded places, because when my son was about 3 we were in a department store and when I tell you I was on line paying and withen about 2 seconds I turned around and he was no where in site I mean totally gone. I went into a complete panick I could not find him I started searching around the store like a lunatic. Finally I found him, thank God. He was sitting on the stairs across the store. He was just sitting there not even realizing I was in a panick. It's even good for very young kids not in crowded places because when my son was even younger about 1 1/2 I was trying to go into my house with him and the stroller and as I was folding up the stroller to bring it in, he decided to jet off toward the street and it happened so fast I couldn't even grab him quick enough and there was a car coming and he was heading right for it. But thank The Lord that time again, because there just so happened to be some man walking down the street right where he was running and grabbed him. I'll never forget that day it was very scary I could still see myself running behind him trying to catch him knowing I wouldn't get there in time to catch him. Things just happen so fast that I actually think using a leash is a good idea at times....LisaNY1 |

Actually Firstborn hers is a harness. It hooks around her torso over the shoulders and then around the waist. The it had a leash off it that I could slip around my wrist. We don't use it anymore but we did when she was little....Azairyia |

I have 3 children, Two of which are special needs children. I used a safty harness with all of them. My oldest I had to use one because I used to travel by bus and he'd dart out in front of Cars and busses. My Middle child has severe autism and is extremely hyperactive. He has no sense of danger and would get hurt EVERY time I go out if didn't have him on one. I believe its wrong to pass judment on people and the reasons why they do things like that before you know the reasons why. And for you to say not to bother bringing their child is wrong also. By this are you saying, special needs children shouldn't be around people and shouldn't be allowed the chance to see new things? OR that a regular child shouldn't have the chance to learn how to behave appropriately in Public? You have to be exposed to it to learn. And the restraining harness I have for my children loops around their chest, not their arms....so technically its not a leash.**ShadowVixn**  |

Have you ever lost a child? I have, I live close to Disney and we are at that park on the weekends. There can be 250,000 people on any given day. A couple of years ago I brought my 3 Grandkids to Epcot, the baby at the time was only 2 and very fast!! In the Mexico attraction I turned to do something with the other children and she was out of the stroller in a flash. It took me 5 full minutes to find her. By that time I was hysterical and a woman walked up to me and said that she and her sister had found the little demon. All I could do was stand there and cry with relief. If I had been better prepared I would have leashed her. I learned my lesson that day as it could have turned into a disastor. Unfortunately there are sexual predators everywhere, even in DisneyWorld. It's worth the peace of mind to keep your kids from running into one of them!  |

I strongly dislike those things!! I was given one as a "gift"....I threw it in the trash. (Although I can understand where people get the idea that children are animals...heehee) We hold hands.... it works for us. I can understand that some people do need to use them, but I'm thankful that I'm not one of them!  |

There is nothing wrong with them. I am going to Disneyland next month and we are going to borrow our neighbors leash. It's not that my 3 year old runs wild, but I am afraid of those who may want to take him. It only takes a split second to loose a child. Frankly I would rather have the ease of mind that my child is safe than to have that worry. Believe my I'd much rather not have to use one, but it's a risk that I'm not willing to take. I am not using this to control my child, but to deter would be kidnappers.  |

They make a kind of harness...that goes around there arms and is a leash. I think that is a great idea, you can never be to careful and at a place like Disney land. I mean I would rather be on a leash than kidnapped, molested and thrown in a gutter....wouldn't you?? Blue Knight  |

Hi! It's very unusual to see because only animals wear them. But some children like to run around and not stay in the group and it's very very easy to get lost in big crowds. There is definately a positive side to having a leash on a child. There are times when parents completley lose their kids and do you know how stressful that can be for a parent when they can't find their child anywhere? It's very sad when that occurs. I know at times when I got lost from my parents and its scary when you don't know what to do or where to go. Maybe if they didn't made the leash look so noticeable and maybe attach it to the wrist would look more humane. ~XxSuaveoO~ |

If its attached to the wrist and they go running off in front of a car and you have to do a "TUG" it can dislocate an arm. The "HARNESS" is the safest way not to dislocate something if such an emergency arises. **ShadowVixn** |

I think they are a great idea. My children hate for me to hold their hands (little rebelious brats--j/k) and when I first saw these devices, I thought what a marvelous gadget. I never bought one, though...but I could definitely see the benefit of having one especially at a place as big and full of "all types" of people as disneyland. Anyways, just my 2 cents. ~peace~  |

when i was really little, about 3 or 4, i remember my mom putting a so-called "leash" on me when we went to the mall. the last time we went there, i had tried to run down the escalator, and she was scared she would lose me in the mall. so when we went the next time, she put a phone cord around my wrist and attached the other end to her wrist. i hated it at the time, but i understand now that she was just doing it to protect her little girl.  |

LOL! DreamR, I don't mean to laugh, but your reaction is the "VERY SAME ONE" I had the first time I saw these 'leashes'. I was mortified, and swore I would never have used them on my children. But after I saw more over the years, I really changed my mind. In a Walmart or a Walgreens, if there is no basket available, it only takes 5 seconds for someone to pick that child up. I feel now that it is more like it would be an extension of my arm and hand. I have an 18 month old grandbaby boy, Moonpriestess's son Alex, and since he could take his first toddling steps, he has loved outdoors. So much so that if he and I start walking down the sidewalk, within 10 feet he will just throw back his head and shriek with the joy of freedom and start that toddling run. It is so beautiful to see a baby's pure appreciation and joy of this beautiful world that God gave us. The freedom of running with the wind blowing his hair. But, it is different if he has to walk slow and hold my hand. He can't stop and touch every flower and leaf. Anyway, I am thinking seriously of getting a halter leash for him. He is getting very very quick. And it would take only one time for him to be 5 or 6 feet in front of me and make a sudden beeline for the street. And that could be a disaster beyond my comprehension. So, like I said, I prefer to think of it as an extension of my arm. He gets that wonderful feeling of freedom and being a big boy, but I maintain control. A wonderful post! Light and Love  |

LOL --GREAT way to put that (human leashes) I, too, have been disturbed when I see these in use. I think that MOST (not all) children who need "leashed" probably need a little more discipline at home. (actually telling your kids "NO!" works wonders sometimes) --Paranoid--  |
