Is this a form of Child Abuse?
The following video of a mother which is literally dragging her child across a Verizon shop’s floor on leash is already a sensation on the Internet. What do you think? Is this a form of child abuse as some are claiming, or is it highly overblown according to you?
My own opinion about it is – not something that I will ever do even if my child is enjoying it.

It’s almost as if we’re watching a mother at the end of her rope, her nerves frayed, with a child who’s uncooperative. Now, it’s nothing that I’d condone, and I’m sure (at least I hope) that this woman now knows the power of the internet and is regretting her decision to drag her child through this store. It’s an amazing bit of footage, and very thought provoking…

How sad, working at a large mall I see abuse all the time, one year at Christmas time I saw a mother come into the mall with her, I’m assuming 6 or 7 year old, the little girl was all excited and laughing and jumping around and I saw the mother slap her and tell her to be quite, broke my heart.

OMG to me this is abuse. I would never do that to my child. My Matthew starting to resists at times, but all I can do is just grab him and hug him and kiss him. I don’t know how people have nerve to do that – to their own children. But then my parents had a hard hand too…Excellent post Tatiana, thanks for sharing. Anna

Yeah, WTF is up with that mother. I think that the doggy/child leashes are inhumane enough. But to drag him by it? Too much.
Maybe we was having a sugar crash and just passed out.
