Dad gets massively shamed for putting leashes on his 5-year-old quintuplets

Jordan Driskell, a 31-year-old father of five-year-old quintuplets, has attracted criticism for using child leashes to
manage his energetic children. Raising five kids of the same age can be demanding, and Driskell opted for leashes
to ensure their safety in public.

Previously, Driskell’s family used a six-seat stroller, but it became impractical as the children grew. The leashes
allow his children to explore while staying under his supervision.

A video of their trip to the aquarium garnered over 3 million views, sparking debate. Some criticized the use of
leashes, while others suggested better parenting or training methods.
Parenting specialist Dr. Deborah Gilboa defended the use of leashes, especially for young children or those with
neurological differences. However, she advised transitioning to verbal communication as children grow.

Parents should be free to choose their parenting methods without undue judgment. What are your thoughts on
children using leashes in public? Share your opinions in the comments.
