[blparent] resource list

[Veronica Smith]

You think that now because your child is so young, but when you get in a
crowded area like an airport, you might have have a cane in one hand and
perhaps a bag on your shoulder, what is the best way to keep your child next
to you or let them walk a few inches in front of you.  I felt exactly like
you, but 2 things happened, my daughter wanted to wear the leash and I found
it made us all feel safe.  The leashes became a welcoming idea after the
thought that anyone could just run up and snatch my child if she wasn't
anchored.  Smiles! V

Ewww, leashes! I hate when people put their kids on a leash like an animal!
Sorry, but that's just WRONG!

Just saw that in the list and had to comment. I'm not usually so bitter
about something, but I've seen it before and happen to think it's cruel.
