Kid on a leash

[swede123]

So I was eating lunch a little bit ago, look up and see this lady, nicely dressed in a suit, leading her 3ish year old son on a leash, attached to one of those little harnesses. I could possibly see some validity to this approach if you are climbing rocks, or navigating a narrow trail through quicksand, but at Einstein bagels?

The kid seemed fairly normal, was trying to play with the kid at the table over, but obviously was hampered by his tether.

Now, seeing this spectacle I couldn't help but feel pity for the child and contempt for the bitch who'd put her kid through this. Maybe this kid had a history of running away from her and getting lost and what not, but if you can't control your child without a harness you really shouldn't be breeding? Agree, disagree?
