Yeah, but you're the guy that lets toddlers play Mortal Kombat  :-[

8 and 10 yr old play UMK3 without blood, they were well behaved enough to play and they dont emulate the actions on screen. Don't confuse their maturity with their ages. Playing on my arcade machines is reward for them behaving and doing well in school.

Anecdotal; My mother claims her mother made her wear one in the 40's.

Jdurg:
Then again, a leash attached to the neck of the child is pretty demeaning.  A leash attached to the child's wrist isn't bad at all.

I have no idea how accurate it is, but at the end of the movie O' Brother Where Art Thou, which was supposed to take place in the 1930's, as they're walking down the street they have a rope tied around the waist of their youngest daughter.

I plan on using a harness in crowded places when my girl starts toddling around full blast. I tend to get distracted, and I don't want to be the person running around screaming "Where's my baby".

Considering the original topic, and the healthy dose of righteous indignation I'm seeing here, is there any chance I could interest you in a shock collar? Why not kill two birds with one stone?  It ain't gonna leave a mark.
