umm there was just a post up about this... i think it is perfectly fine as long as the mother isn't tugging the child around in this time right now with all the missing children it's best to have a hold on your child even if it's just a string.. it's still a lifeline knowing yoru child is ok  |

It is not considered child abuse. Do what you feel is the safest for your children. Regina  |

I dont have a problem with leashes. They are pretty much the same as a stroller or a shopping cart. If you have more than one kid, it can be very hard to keep your eye on them constantly. If its not harming the kid, its not abuse. I dont use one, but Im not against them either. Its up to the parents.  |

I feel that the leech thing is alright... Also long as they dont pull hard on them like some people do on dogs. It would help the parent or whomever keep an eye on the child. But then again, they shouldn't bring the child to stores or whatever if he/she runs around or whatever...know what I'm saying... This post reminds me of the time when a little girl had died at my work and the parents didn't keep an eye on her....very sad.  |

I don't see anything wrong with a leash as long as it's not around the neck or leg and parents use it safely. Face it the majority of children want to wonder off with the closest of supervision. A leash is safer than an abduction.  |

I dont think it's necessarily child abuse, but I think they look terrible, I guess because I associate leashes with dogs..I think it would be better to strap a kid in a stroller if they are uncontrollable.  |

I think leashes on kids is disgusting.  |
