How often do you take him for a walk?

I literally have never seen a kid on a leash IRL (I'm not American) nor heard anyone say "goddamn this kid is so hard to raise, lemme put him on a leash". Never seen a pic of my gramps on a leash, or a history book showing leashed kids. Through millennia kids have been properly raised without leashes. So, I ask again, is this not just another example of how incompetent people have gotten at being people in some areas of the world?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's barely a thing. Some parents with special-needs kids or parents with a lot to juggle in places like amusement parks sometimes use leashes or backpack-leads to keep their very young kids close, but nobody actually cares much, nobody is actually shamed, nobody laughs and points, nobody gives it a second glance.
This is the kind of thing that's played up for laughs or memed about because it's objectively a funny concept depending on context, but don't get lost down the rabbit-hole of internet users overthinking every goddamn thing and making everything into an issue.

The fuck are you on about? Have you never had a kid disappear on you in a mall? There's no cars there
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Multiple people in the thread are talking about using them because of worries about a kid running out into traffic.
Quit pretending that a statement has to apply 100% of the time in every possible circumstance in order to be generally true.

I got this thing online that has four straps connected together and you put it under your mattress with the ends of the straps sticking out and you can strap someone to the bed. Since you asked.
Hypothesis still valid, we need more data

"Timmy want a lootbox?"
Yes, you know he does.

We tried that with my son. Nothing worked. We could zip tie the closures and he would be out of it in minutes. He was a runner from age three to around seven years old. The school was happy when he wanted boot and we bought him some woody boots. He couldn't run as fast. OP there is a POS. He hasn't lived it and lacks the empathy to understand.

I also have those, would recommend

I saw this disturbingly often when I worked retail, like maybe once a month? too often. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's a surefire way to make the adult the kid grows up into a puppyboy/girl/enby. I just don't see how it could ever not. I think this started with gen z actually, I saw a kid or two when I was younger with leashes on. Would love to see if this has been studied at all.

Do you remember Harambe?!!! Harambe died for your pride! If that boy was in a leasg he would still be here and the world would be a better place. /s but not really?!
Seriously now, leashing a kid is not a bad thing. Young kids will run faster than light and human parents can avoid accidents, make sure the kid is is around.and shop without losing their minds. Let's normalize it. If you use a necklace, is that a collar? No. Leave moms alone
A necklace doesn't inhibit movement but okay.

I bought mine from an online store called The Stockroom

This is a delusional take.

I was a leash kid
Ah, that explains it...

They've been around since at least the 80s. Probably earlier.

I've always felt weird about parents who have those backpack leashes for their kids, but now that I've been living next to my in-laws for a year, who have 8 children, I understand some of them.
I refuse to take some their kids anywhere unless one of them is with my wife and I.
One would absolutely go sprinting full speed away and hide from us just because he thinks it's hilarious.
Two would wander off because they saw something shiny and their brains are like an etch-a-sketches where every time a new thought enters, the old one has to get wiped away.
One would do the exact opposite of anything we say just because he figures he can.
And three others would absolutely just wander off, not because they want to but just because kids aren't always the best at spatial awareness and simply get too far away. And would be terrified if they noticed their adults were nowhere in sight.
Having that many children is child abuse. There’s no way they all get the parental attention they need.

My mom would just walk away as if she didn't even have a kid with her. The panic and fear of losing my mom and having to find her again in a huge ass grocery store is what eventually kept me close from some point on

Probably went away and made a comeback. I came out in '92 and didn't see a leash kid until around 2010. Then suddenly, leash kids everywhere.

A collar is not a leash
