actually, most parents use those to protect their children. there are lots of kids who just RUN no matter where they are. of course, they don't look for cars or for other dangers. a friend of mine said her parents used one for her when she was little bc she never stopped running! and i work with several children who are "bolters," basically, they will be walking along for and whatever reason, just take off in another direction!!! if their parents didn't use those leashes...they probably would have been hit by a car and killed by now!
