Okay people... What did you think about the story of this so called mom dragging her small child around the store by a leash? The mom went to jail for dragging her child by a leash around the store! I'm talking about those child safety leashes that some of us parents have used, or still do use. But this mother was literally dragging her child by the leash! I mean this child was laying on the floor & the mother just kept dragging the child! The video & the link to this story is below, so if you havn't seen the headlines about this story, check it out! I feel this mother could of seriously hurt this child & I find it really un-called for. This mother needs parenting classes & I don't care if this child was having a fit in the store & she felt she had no other options, because the truth is, she did have other options, but she just went the easy way out. So, yes. I do believe she should be punished. This kind of gives parents that do use the kid leashes a bad name... don't you think? I'm not against parents who have or do use these kids leashes, just use them the right way & use them the way they are suppose to be used! Anyway, here is the link to the story, also has a video!

this mom thinks her child is a pet, wow, what an abusive and awful mom. that is child abuse and she is endangering'a child life that way. she needs parenting classes and maybe some sessions with a good shrink. she must be lacking a few brain cells to act like that. she is a child abuser.that is jhust terrible.

It be wrong to even drag an animal around like this. This child was limp/lying on the floor & his mom just went on with her shopping. Crazy.

i'd say to that mom: if it is your husband that makes you kill your kid then leave your husband. if it is finances that makes you kill your kid then stop having kids to feed. if it is work that makes her kill her kids then leave work. if it is the state of her life at the moment that she can't figure out that makes her kill her kids maybe their house is sooo messy that it made it to her brain.

Well, although I have seen leashes and actually think they are somewhat alright to use in the case of keeping a child near you while your shopping...I don't agree with dragging your kid on the floor. I can't see how the leash is hooked so I'd be concerned about injury not to mention that it just looks rough on the kid and of course thinking of the amount of dirt, grime, germs and gross stuff on the floor. I think if your going to have that much trouble with taking your kid to a store then you need to hire a sitter and leave them home. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]
