My mother had me on a leash with a muzzle until I was 2 years old.

I was on a harness that was attached to the clothesline. This allowed my mother to get work done in the house. She had five children under six at one point. I don't think I had access to a food or water dish either. Nonetheless, I was regular fed and tended to.

If it weren't for the controlled substances business, etc. I'd say leave it be (though the wrist is not the best place to secure someone for that purpose).

My mom had 5 kids within 6 years, as well. When we went with her to the grocery, we would (apparently) all scatter throughout the store. She bought some kind of leash thing that she only had to use ONCE on us, at the grocery. After that, we all stayed with her.

It was better than letting the child roam away and out into the street. Lots of kids have been put on leashes in the past but today the nanny state can’t have kids safe. I was put in a high chair while granny got her housework done. She’d put me in the hallway which had easily cleaned linoleum. I could see the tv and the front porch and had snacks and a drink. I remember being happy, not mistreated.
