A video going popular on TikTok shows a mom using a leash to pull her baby across the floor of an airport. The video has caused heated arguments about how to parent. Some people say that what she did was sensible, while others say it was cruel and wrong.
The event shows how hard it can be to keep kids safe while also letting them be independent in public places. Child straps like the one that was used have been talked about for a long time by parents and safety experts.
The head of the American Academy of Paediatrics, Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, says that they shouldn’t be used and suggests other options that are safer and more respectful.

People online are angry, sad, and accepting, with some agreeing with the mother’s focus on safety. Some people say the method is degrading.
The argument brings up how hard parenting can be and the difference between judging and understanding.
