You’re right her hair wasn’t “tied”to the handle he was holding it as he gripped the handle. It’s a distinction without a difference though; it’s the same effect, still dragging a little girl by the hair. If you want to play word games with that find someone else interested in such lunacy.
Forget CPS, to heck with them. Anyone with a functioning brain and a conscience can see from the photos that what he did isn’t right, that it was abuse.
Yeah I know there are much more extreme cases of abuse but that doesn’t mean this wasn’t another case. Again, forget CPS, they aren’t necessary. All he needs and deserves is a trial by his peers who, if they have the aforementioned brain and conscience, after seeing these photos, would do the right thing and issue a verdict of “guilty of child abuse”.
No, it is quite a bit more worse sounding when he is accused of "tying" her hair to the handle. It requires considerably more effort and considerably more "meanness", and I'm sure that is why the busy body made that accusation. She wanted what he was doing to appear worse than it was.

That some people think this rises to the level of abuse is already lunacy. "Lunacy" is baked into this cake.

It is unconventional, but hardly "abuse." The girl will suffer no serious injury, and have no serious trauma over this. She will laugh about it years later.

I would prefer to see charges filed against anyone accusing this man of "abuse" for such a silly thing. It does a disservice to the concept of "abuse" to equate it to such a frivolous thing. This is little different than filing a frivolous lawsuit and their ought to be punishment for people who assert these frivolous accusations.
