What a horrible thing to do to a child.

It would be picking on someone my own size.  Seems fair enough.

Level42 - yes, there are parents who actually put their kids on a damn leash and walk them around like pets, chest harness and all.  Makes me sick to watch.  Google "child leash".

I have a compromise for parents where the dad believes in spanking but the mom does not.  Tell mom to take one for the team - spank her instead.

Spanking should NEVER be the first course of action for punishment.  If you can avoid it, then do so.  There are just sometimes where a smack on the bottom or across the cheeks will get the point across.

What if its a women who has the child on the leash?  I'm not saying it wouldn't be alright to hit her or have her hit herself (that would be sexist), but there are some people out there who might be against that sort of thing.

I concur, though I'm sure some people would think they were justified in doing so.  Take the article linked in the first post as an example.

I can't think of any time when a smack on the bottom or across the cheeks will not get the point across.  But wouldn't you really be underlining it to clench your fist first?  I'm serious.  If your child is going to refrain from bad behavior because he's afraid of being spanked, don't you think he's really going to behave if he's afraid of having his lights knocked out?  I am talking about more than whether behavior can be controlled with spanking (and it appears we've now extended acceptable forms of physical punishments to slapping your kid across the face).

 Leashes are not for people.  They are for animals.  Every time I see some lazy parent walking their kid like a beagle I want to throw the parent down on the ground and play "why you hitting yourself" for an hour.

Chad . . . I saw an awesome product for people (like me) who think putting a kid on a leash is just fundamentally wrong, but are still worried about the whole, turn your head and they're gone scenario.  It's a proximity alarm that can be set to a couple of different distance settings.  It's basically two keychains.  Clip one to your kid and if he goes out of range (I seem to remember the settings were like 10 and 35 feet) your device beeps at you, letting you know that you're kid is wandering off.  I think that would be awesome (though I really wish it had something more like a 100 ft setting -- that would be a lot more useful somewhere like a public park).  It was super expensive, though.  Like $160.  But I'm sure there's no reason for it to be expensive once there's more competition in the market with devices like that.  For $160 the devices could be using GPS and 2-way radios to communicate relative positions (outdoors anyway).
