[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Yes.
Jennifer's post on this topic was awesome.
Everybody does their own thing, but cruel? No, not at all.

Sorry, but you may think it's less cruel as your kid gets older and wants
more freedom.  The leash isn't to make your child into a dog, it's to help
your child stay near you without holding on his hand every second, while
he's young and easily distracted.  Believe me, the leash is far less cruel
than having your kid run off into the street or into some other dangerous
situation, or having to keep him glued to your hand when he wants some room
to explore.
