Leash your kids???

i've seen this more and more... most recently 2 weeks ago at the airport. Good idea or bad?

I guess it depends on how fast you can run. I went to state in the half mile so my kid isn't going to out run me.

Not so much good or bad idea; but a hilarious one....

I think it's ridiculous..funny as hell...but ridiculous. It reminds me of that SNL skit with Mike Myers leashed to a jungle gym...

Overall, if you can't control your kids, don't bring em out or don't have em.

Probably not too bad of an idea now days. There are lots more sickos in the world now than there used to be that may want to grab a child if they saw the opportunity.

I would say good idea in crowded areas. It only takes two seconds of not paying attention and your kid could be gone forever.

I would say it is a good idea, with all the sick people we have in this world.

I generally prefer a ratchet strap and a shopping cart myself.

They creep me out....My boys stay close because they are taught to. As far as someone grabbing them, I can run pretty fast and my .357 can make up the difference.

My only concern would be the Clark Griswold's of the world.
I wonder how long it will take for someone to tie a kid to the bumper?
It could be a skit for Jack Ass 3.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

I think a leash is OK but nothing makes a kid heel like a shock collar.

When I was a kid (a loooong time ago) my family used to go to old mining camps and ghost towns. There were open mine shafts all over the place. My little brother was only about 3 and my mom had a leash like that for him so he wouldn't wander off. He blames all his problems since on the fact that we kept him leashed and treated him like a dog.

Of course the upside was if you figured out how far the leash would stretch you could really mess with him. That and he did learn to bark pretty well.

The self righteous part of me wants to say "bad" but the practical part says "good".
