What a horrible thing to do to a child.

Astonishingly lame comments by Shmokes (shock collars?) and Jdurg (leash attached to the neck?) make such a discussion not even worth my time.

I think you may have mis-read or mis-interpreted my statement.     I wasn't stating that you should attach a leash to a kid and place it around his/her neck.  I was stating that when I see parents who do that it does kind of make me question them.  I have no problem with the parents who have a "leash" that's attached to a bracelet worn around a kid's wrist.  I see nothing wrong with that.

I currently have no children, but when I do have a child I will discipline them how I see fit.  If someone wants to come up to me and say "You're beating your children" if I decide to spank them for misbehaving, then they have every right to.  However, I will quickly show them what a "beating" is by beating the living snot out of that person.

You mean you have actually seen a kid with a leash around his/her neck!?!

Good lord people, a child HARNESS (I'm not capitalizing this for my health), is literally a backpack the kid wears, that has a lead attached to the back of it. If a person is putting a LEASH on their kid, then yes that is wrong.

I'm sure if you actually ever saw that, it was either homemade or made for an animal.  Typically child harnesses look neither like that, or what Shardian posted.  They usually look like this:
