Child safety
Am I being too, I don’t know, cautious? Yesterday while doing the school run I noticed a Mum who was using one of those retractable dog leads as ‘reins’ for her toddler.
The fact that it was a dog lead for a child made me feel slightly uncomfortable to start with. But then the toddler kept getting tangled up in the long lead it was allowed and I could just see the dangers of the child getting strangled!
The long lead also meant that she was not close enough to assist when needed.
I think it was just wrong.
Am I being to sensitive?
Should I have said something to the Mother?

I’ve seen plenty of dogs become entangled in their leads so I imagine it would be no different with children. Not a good idea, in my humble opinion. But as to saying something to the mother — You’re a braver woman than me if you do. You’d very likely be told to mind your own business.
Yes, I imagine you would Alana. But how awful would you feel if something happened to the chid? StillI I didn’t…
