We all have different ideas on how children should be raised, just as we all use various techniques to do it.<\/p>\n

Online arguments between parents can and will happen over a wide range of issues, but certain of them have shown to be particularly contentious. You are aware of the topics I\u2019m talking about; they are those on which almost every parent has an opinion, to some extent or another.<\/p>\n

Now, the idea of \u201cleashing\u201d your child\u2014tying a lead to a harness or their wrist to keep them from escaping, running into danger, or, god forbid, being kidnapped\u2014has in the past resulted in countless fights between parents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some believe it to be the same as abusing children. Others don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with it as long as the kids involved are eventually protected.<\/p>\n

The topic has now come up once more after a stay-at-home mother from Los Banos, California, received online criticism for using a leash on her toddler while going to the grocery shop.<\/p>\n

Alexis Solis, a former behavioral analysis therapist, reportedly released a video of herself and her kid after going shopping. It soon acquired popularity online, garnering over 12 million views and igniting a heated discussion in the comments section.<\/p>\n

The mother of two girls, Solis, claims she utilizes her online presence to spread awareness of child endangerment.<\/p>\n

She can be seen in one particular video she posted to her TikTok asking her small kid to extend her hand so she may attach a leash on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m tired of the world being this way but I\u2019m never tired of protecting my girls,\u201d she captioned the clip.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m okay looking like a crazy mom. As long as my babies are safe and thanks to everyone I freaking love this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As a result of the nearly 13 million views the video received, Alexis was attacked and her parenting was called into question by many.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope they leash her when she\u2019s 50,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate those,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent video, Alex clarified that the leash is ideal for kids who have a tendency to run away.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI used to work with children on the spectrum. I don\u2019t share this about myself very often, but I was an ABA therapist.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething that\u2019s common with children who have autism is they do tend to elope. If you\u2019re not familiar with what elopement is, that\u2019s when a child tends to wander off or run away from the parent or the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, this can be very traumatic for both the child and the parent. I know that if I had this device when I was working with families, this would have made life so much safer.\u201d<\/p>\n
