So why was I on it?
Because we would go into New Orleans frequently to go shopping and whatnot, and my parents knew that the area wasn't safe, and they didn't want to risk having us get kidnapped. In some areas, it's a safety precaution.

I thought parents put their children on leashes in order to avoid kidnapping. I never considered 'bolting' from their parents until I read this thread.
I went shopping at Costco in Westchester this morning. It is a huge, overwhelming store packed with people. I was so surprised that their were no children incidents. There must have been over 20 kids in the store. I guess Westchester children are very well behaved. And I didn't see a single leash.
