I see kids running wild in stores with their nitwit parents totally oblivious to what could happen( knock somebody down, get knocked down, get abducted, break something). This lady is no worse than they are.
I would think the liberals would think this is more humane than spanking your kids. Now we can't even leash our kids?
The problem these days is the liberals are too concerned with being their kid's friend that they don't want to discipline them out of fear of upsetting them. I see these kids all the time. They act up and misbehave and their stupid parents do nothing or say nothing to them.
My kids would probably prefer if I leash them but unlike these moron liberal parents, if my kids act up in public, I will yell at them and God forbid...even spank them.
"Now we can't even leash our kids?" hahahaha.....
why do you call those parents "liberal"? just curious. You're a doctor, right?
A leash is a symptom...so is having to yell or spank in public.
why not develop trust and respect with your child, so he's content to walk with you and know he can absorb/see all he wants while he's with you? If he has plenty to absorb his interest during the rest of the day he wont need to explode once he's in a new interesting environment. If you share the shopping experience with him that's fun and interesting too, and bonding.
Kids also need to learn as soon as they can comprehend that it's not safe to be out among strangers alone. But they can acquire this information from books, poems, stories... not newspaper horror stories or stories ONLY about this subject, but there is so much in children's literature that lets the child feel and understand the meaning of this. IOW it doesnt have to be just you nagging or brandishing a newspaper in front of them, "Look what happened to THIS little girl!"

I laughed when I saw this post. I've been called a "blind dimwitted liberal" by people on this very forum and none of your comments apply to me. Is liberal the go-to word for someone who doesn't agree with you?

Delusianne, you know I love you and I agree with you on most things but girl please tell me what method you used to get your kids to behave this way so I can start it today! My son is 3 1/2 and he still gets excited about that damn lifesize M&M at M&M world and I have to wrestle him to the ground to keep him from running through the mall to get to it. Hell it doesn't take much to get my son excited. Walking past the movies is like a 20 minute task because of all the posters. FYE takes at least an hour

With school out, the little rats are running wild everywhere! Can't wait for Labor Day to come and go. Then they are the education system's problem, at least during daytime. If they are well behaved (big IF) I don't mind, but those kids are few and far between today. I see them running around wildly in all the stores (and everywhere else), screaming, yelling, whining, "I want this, why can't I have it?, waaaaaaah", etc. The idiot parents with a glib smile that says, "oh aren't they so cute?". Just want to slap them to hell and back.

My dad just has to say it...once...."Sharon!" and I am up and running his way.
yup I am 38 and when my father calls me I come PERIOD! I never used a leash on my kids I never had to. They know better then to even think about walking away from me when we are out. This woman should be brought up on child abuse charges.
for leashing a child? no. it seems strange to me, but i don't have kids so i can't say if they're sometimes warranted.
for dragging a kid along the ground by the leash because you're "having problems with him"? uh, yes.
If you were the arresting officer, what would you charge the parent with?
I think we're going to have to define "abuse" at some time in this thread. If the child isn't hurt or psychologically damaged, is there abuse? "Abuse" isn't anything someone decides is mean or not nice or not what they would ever do.
