Oh, and of all those who are decrying the use of the leash, how many of you are actually parents?

I have two daughters - aged 8 and 5. And as I stated, I would NEVER have thought of using a leash on them. My wife and I are very lucky, both girls are incredibly well behaved. We were quite strict on what are children were able to do when out in public - and that sticks with them even today. The only leash we needed were our hands. If we were concerned about them getting lost in the mass of people at a busy mall, we held their hands at ALL times. Inconvenient? I guess. But that's the way we preferred to do it.
But even after that little rant, I wouldn't dare question anyones parenting skills if they use a harness. Like I said, both of my girls are very well behaved, but I know there are some children out there that even a leash and being watched 24/7 won't prevent them from wandering off or getting into trouble. I get much angrier when I see kids tearing ass through stores, terrorizing anyone and anything in their path. THOSE are truly lazy parents...
