Children on Leashes

I see a lot of children on leashes. Today I saw a kid that was straining at his leash, like a dog trying to make its owner hurry.

Several years ago I knew a young mother who used a leash on her daughter. She said it was necessary to keep an eye on her child.

It may be helpful for parents, but it turns my stomach. To me, people who put their kids on leashes are treating their children as less than human. It's deplorable.
