CHILD HARNESS, GRANDFATHER NOT ABUSIVE

A grandfather posted a video of himself walking his three triplet granddaughters.  This video went viral because they were all wearing a child leash.  People really freaked out about it.  Many thought the leashes were abusive.  But their mother explained that it would be extremely difficult for him to care for the 2-year old girls without a child leash.  Evidently, the three girls are each extremely challenging.  But they are also fun! This is a good strategy in keeping a precocious child safe in busy streets. The mother explained that they could run away, thus only the child leash will keep them safe.  Simple child safety is not abuse!
