Woman drags child through Verizon Store - Caught on Tape!

curtisreed,
I do nt WORRY about leashing my dog I just know he would like it more running free. Oh crap, you have kids. I am glad they are ok because you sound a little high strung. I do not want to teach your kids anything that is your job. Why do you worry about what "Libs" would say? You are the parent and have to do it your way. Blaming a political movement for your lack of parenting skills is doped. If you are confident you are doing the right thing who cares what others think. Their your kids. You are right. there is no way to pay 100% attention, but you do not have to when your kids are well behaved.

I must say that I am not against leashes. They are sensible, but dragging your child is completely uncalled for; whether or not the child thought it was fun. There are so many people who walk on those floors tracking in all sorts of who knows what and the kids face is scraping all that up. Inevitably the child is going to rub that face and then stick his/her hand in their mouths and bingo, they could get a microorganism or something toxic ingested. Those floors are not clean.

Using a cart, wagon, or stroller is a way better option or simply carrying the child. If the child is tired and needs a nap, then take him home. Nothing is that important that it can't wait til the next day.

Really? I would have never been allowed to act like that as a child. I would have been spanked in front of everyone in the store had I ever acted that way at that age.(the child that is..)

leashes on kids these days isnt a bad idea.
with the amount of creeps these out there, yeah the leash isnt a bad thing...

That was sad. My kid is eight . We just hold hands . Or talk . He was still so small she could have just picked him up . That woman needs more support . She has taken a wrong path .

Bad parenting skills?... seriously?!!! I would have just hit that kid to teach him a lesson. white people just don;t know how to raise their children.

horrible and ridiculous, hope the kid wasn't harmed n hope this woman gets punished.

Big deal. She wasn't beating the kid. The kid may have liked it. I don't have any kids so I don't get too judgemental on stuff like this.

He should be happy that's not my mom there... I would have received a slap there and at home a beating!

wow... i just remember the times I use to black out... =(
lol....

well I do have a three year old and he is the best kid ever. He says please and thank you. He does anything you ask he is what I would call the perfect kid. m not saying this because he is mine either. I am impressed with him everyday with stuff he does. All I am saying about this video is I am sure there is more to the story.

Maybe the kid just goes limp whenever she wants to take it someplace it doesn't want to go. My dads dog does that. Want to take it to the vet, it goes limp. Want to give it a bath, it goes limp. It's actually a pretty effective strategy. It is harder to carry that dog anywhere when it is limp as opposed to struggling. Looking at that video and guessing, I'd say that kid probably weighs a little less than my dads dog.

this is sooooo old

We need the audio for this but that parent looks pissed and tired so i'm guessing that kid is giving her hell.

I have two children myself, and they know better than to act out in public or run off... I also pay attention to them so they are not taken and now that my daughter is old enough I go over the safety rules about strangers with her ie: a stranger can look like anyone, dont talk to them, and if they try to take you run or yell really loud that you are being taken..... Never do I even have to spank them because they will lose priviledges in the house or at the store for their actions... my son is two and understands these concepts..... still he has his "tantrums" but what the hey, he is two..... as adults we have to be the better people, how can anyone get angry or upset with their children??

Is this a new thing? Putting children on a leash? I was talking to some friends who live in New York, and they said they see kids on leaches around the city. I've never seen or heard of this in Chicago. I understand the safety implications when 4-year olds may dart out on the street about to be hit by a moving vehicle, but still... it's a child on a leash. There's something about that that just doesn't sit well with me.

wow the opinions you read on here are funny. the way I see it we dont have the whole story. All we see is a kid getting dragged. So what took place before all this. I have a daughter who we adopted and we have had more problems with. When she is with my wife (who by the way does everything in the world for her and thats not saying she spoils her at lets her get away with things) Anyways my daughter who we adopted at the age of four and who is now nine acts like she is 13 on somethings anf acts like 3 on other things. you see al these people say parenting skills suck now days. Well I will have to say one reason they suck is because if you do something to a kid that one person does like you end up being a kid abuser. So if a nine year old calls you a stupid bitch I guess thats are fault. We did something wrong. I dont know Im starting to ramble here so Im sure there will be the perfect parent replying to me telling me how to handle the situation. Without evening know everything we have done and are doing to help my daughter be a better person

I love how the mom just keeps dragging him as though this is a normal occurrence in her everyday life. The child isn't even freaking out, wonder if this was the first time this child has been drug around by his mother. Ah, the benefits of leashing your children!!

I think the kid is lucky he didn't get a spanking.

my kid tried that crap once. ONLY once. Security tapes would have revealed him getting a good ass whipping. He never tried the old "if I lie down Dad will be forced to give me what I want" ploy ever again.

Can you hear me now?

Im sorry, this is funny. Who really does that and not notice their kid is being dragged behind him. The funnier thing is that no one is saying anything, their just ignoring what's going on right in front of them. And the kid is just chillin' there with no problem.

This was posted months ago. I saw it.

Still terrible that it happened. I almost thought this was a repeat as in another store...but it's the same store---so same video.

They are too busy taking healthy kids that dont need to be taken so they can assure a clean and quick adoption plan....$$$

Look's like she's given up on parenting, where's the State run Foster Care system when they are a really needed?

What is her excuse? She must be victim of something (sarcasm)

i got the belt and im not complaining about that. bratty kid, loser mom, theyre fucked!

Can someone tell me how this in any way shape or form a "News Story"?

i think parents need to treat their children more like human beings instead of animals... thats why their kids are so damn wild. because of books and movies talkin about kids like the dog that wont listen...

when in actuality they are just kids that too have much energy and nothing to put it all into.

also a damn child leash is hilarious as hell, and humiliating as hell for the kid strapped in it.. thats probably why that kid was acting up.... he aint wanna be treated like a house pet.

now im not for beating kids in anyway shape or form. whooping your kid for doing something bad or something you specifically told them not to do is not beating, its disciplining your kids.

showing your kid that there are consequences for committing bad actions is actually teaching your kid that they cant do or have anything they want...

putting them on a leash and treating them like a pet is not the way to go about parenting... its actually one of the worst because the one person a child is supposed to depend on and trust the most, doesn't even know how to handle them. in turn so much separation grown between the two and ultimately the the child to the world because they feel they have no one...

i realize this is not all cases of bad parenting, but you don't need all cases. one is too many.

parents... learn who your kid is as a person and what they like or love to do, and if they have too much energy then encourage them to take after school activities or something... but dont think of your kid as a animal that needs to be trained to think act and or be a certain way...

Parenting is more important than shopping at a Verizon store. I would never do this to my child. Shame on her.

There is a reason that parents who can afford a sitter leave them at home when they go shopping. Kids get tired, need a nap, and have to be carried. A shopping cart whould have solved her problem.

hahaha...thats exactly what happens when i try to walk my cat

It does not take balls to drag your kid around. It takes balls to handle it the right way. Dragging is the lazy and slightly funny way out. The reason people see kids on leashes is because their parents are lazy and would rather subject thier kids to a degrading leash rather than teach them the proper way to act in public. You treat them with respect and dignity and they will act that way. you treat them like an animal and they will act like an animal.

fuck kids.

I bet the employees at Toys R Us see this all the time. What could that kid have wanted so badly at the Version store though?

Well its bad but not terrible. I mean really, what is the point of a child leash if you cant drag your kids by it?!?!?

Wow, not that serious, that kid will go through much more trauma when he hangs out with his friends and they take turns punching each other in the face or having stickfights or jumping off trampolines. Grow some balls, don't you guys have childhood memories that make this seem like fun?

What. The. Fuck.

One lazy kid and one child-whooped mother

Ok !!Now I know this is real bad parenting and the child should not be dragged on the floor. but thats funny and I got a good chuckle out of it. I know i'm a bad person for doing so. BUT DAMN! How many of you have all but done that? Maybe even done it and not got caught. I have seen children get dragged around Wal-Mart but I have come to exspect that from some of the people in Wal-Mart.

leashes on kids should be against the law. If you can not keep an eye on you kid while out shopping do not go out. i hate putting a leash on my dog so I am def not going to do it to my 5 year old. As a parent I find the lack of parenting skills in this country horrible. It really is not that hard to treat your kids with respect and pull them aside to discipline them. Spanking them is better than dragging across the floor. I wish I was as tall as Shaq so I could put a leash on her and drag her ass around the mall for a while.

Nah, the kid deserves it, especially if he was warned. Parents gotta follow through with threats of dragging. The kid'll learn. I did.

lol

first instinct is to laugh, but then better judgment kicks in.

parenting skills have seriously gone down the drain. no matter how bratty your kid is, i think you should have established some sort of discipline & power over them at this age in your kid's life... i'm assuming this is a toddler or a just a young child.

DId she go to jail?

This just proves the bad influence of the Droid. My iPhone friends say this would never happen at an AT&T store. :-)

It's on a leash too!

That looks like fun. Not the dragging part, but rather being dragged. ;)

is it bad that I laughed?

looks like her hands were too full to carry him?? great parenting skills......
