yet another reason my 2 boys have not and never will see the inside of a day care. yeah I may not make nearly enough money working from home but my boys will never be treated as cattle or have some strangers ideals imparted on them.
yeah its a safety strap kinda thing the kids hold on to.
lets try not to over sensationalize this, no worse than when we lined up and held your partners hands on field trips making the "Buddy-rope" when we were like 6 years old.
I see it as this helps provide control and safety for a small horde of children that would otherwise be running amok.
damned if you provide safety and control and damned if you let them run in the street.... I Swear you guys are impossible :D
actually, I want to know why Newracer is hanging out at the local Kinder-care snapping shots of other peoples kids...

And what would you say if they lost one?Quote:

for being a bunch of conservative gun nuts, you all are sounding like a bunch of liberal pansy raising parents.
I support child leash laws and speak from experience, having chased offspring...
I don't see any of the children in the photo tethered to the line and what is being exhibited there is a great idea to keep the little sheets together....
Hmm...being raised by a conservative gun nut myself I can tell you that a certain tone of my old man's was plenty enough to stop me dead in my tracks; no ropes or leashes required.Quote:

Look a little closer, you can see the strap on the girl in pink, they are strapped to the line. Also as they walked they shuffled their feet and took very small steps, just like a chain gang.
I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand I can see it as a safety issue but on the other it just doesn't seem right. I guess it is better than the facility that was caught leaving kids in car seats all day.
I was collecting air samples at a house and saw this while I was sitting in my truck waiting for the samples to finish. This is near downtown Denver, looked to be a rather large day care.
I worked on facilities for one of the largest day cares in the country and they used these for the toddler groups to keep them together to and from locations and to help with their head counts. I don't remember them being attached to it,just holding on. No big deal-this is one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't things. [Beer]
I have two boys in daycare and I don't see a problem with the ideals they learn there. It's more like a social learning thing. They are learning how to act in one social setting (daycare) and at home. Daycare for example does not allow any mention of guns, no pointing fingers and saying bang of any kind. At home my kids have a small arsenal of toy guns and swords. They know how to act at daycare and have fun at home playing army. They understand the difference and act accordingly.
who's the redhead...[Tooth]
And what about when you weren't around your old man?Quote:

Hey Rondog, btw: I found a 10 round box of Swiss GP 11 ammo hiding in my safe a few days ago. It's a small amount, but with that caliber of ammo, if we're in the same area at the same time, you're welcome to it.Quote:

No conspiracies, just the kids' safety while getting some exercise & reducing boredom.
Sold! I'm out of town for a few days though.Quote:

This is just wrong, they should be tethered to the line, in case a cute bunny runs past them, etc... I also support fanny leashes, you should read what goes on in Walmarts to little kids. You can't let them out of your site.
Hey, that would be a good business, child fanny leashes. Opps, beat me to it:
How to Use a Child Leash
By an eHow Contributor
In today's society, mothers can never be too careful about keeping a close eye on their children when they are out in public places. Malls, fairs and even playgrounds can be very crowded, and losing a child is possible in such situations. Buying a child leash is a practical way for mothers to keep a close eye on their children in busy areas.
Difficulty:Moderate Instructions
- 1 Browse online for various child leashes. This may sound like a cruel idea at first, but there are very modern versions of child leashes out there that are fun and easy to use.
- 2 Look for a child leash that is also a backpack. There are many variations of child leashes that are made to look like animals for the children to wear on their backs. The leash extends out to look like the animal's tail.
- 3 Buy the child leash that best suits your needs. While the main priority is to keep your child safe, your child can also use it as a backpack to store items, if you choose to buy this type.
- 4 Discuss with your child why you are purchasing a child leash. This is also a good time to discuss stranger safety, if he is old enough to understand the concept.
- 5 Allow your child to try on the child leash at home to get a feel for it. Remind her that it's to keep her safe and that she should always behave and not try to run off when it is on her.
- 6 Put your child's leash on whenever you are out in public areas that are busy with people.

It did make for an interesting conversation back in 1984 in Columbus GA. Walking with my oldest daughter a woman came up and told me that she was not a dog. I informed her that it was not around her neck but she was very unhappy that I had a leash on my child.
When I saw them in Belgium in 81 or so I thought they were a great idea IMO.
