This isn't a new trend. They were more common (my mom says especially in the south) back in the 70's. Mom tells me that they faded out of 'style' when people because more aware of child abuse and people began interpreting the leashing as abuse.
Apparently leashes for children is more common in some European countries. Perhaps some of the TFPr's from those countries can pipe in on that. It was what I gathered from a British newscast where they interviewed some nannies.
