I’m torn on this. Clearly it’s wrong to yell at a 3 year old but there ARE kids who need to be on a leash. Some parents think kids are like dogs...they should be able to go where they want when they want. There are some dog owners who do not comply with leash laws because THEIR dog isn’t the problem. It’s those other dogs.

I’ve been out places these days and seen dogs better behaved than children! Most people these days have well behaved dogs in public. There is a store near me that allows dogs and on any given weekend the place is a Hillbilly Westminster Dog Show with every pet owner bringing their dog in and showing them off. The dogs are loving it and getting spoiled with attention and treats.

then I go up to wal mart and kids are screaming like opera singers because mom told them “no”.

But if you do put your kid on a leash you also get yelled at for "treating the child like a dog".

My youngest niece was very fast so I used a harness and leash on her to keep her from darting out into traffic or other dangers. I got several long and loud lectures for doing so.

As dear ol Aesop said, you try to please everybody you end up pleasing nobody.
