Girl on leash

So, I am not sure when it became acceptable to put children on leashes. This woman is out with a child, but something is amiss, notice how she is holding the leash, do you see it, she is walking this child like one walks a dog. Also notice how close they are standing, why not hold hands? There us no wonder why children feel abandoned by the adult world, we treat them like animals. We don’t touch them, we ignore them.
Can you imagine if there were leashes during Jesus time? Jesus would be telling the parents, not the disciples to not hinder the children from coming to him.
This really, really bothers me!
