Kentucky father of five criticised for walking his children on a leash: They are humans, not dogs

A Kentucky father changed his life forever when he and his wife had twins. But he never thought the choices he made as a parent would draw harsh criticism and hatred.

Raising children takes more effort from mothers and fathers than a full-time job, and couples often have to learn new skills. No matter how hard they try, they never succeed, and it becomes even harder when they have more children. But the joys of parenthood outweigh all the sleepless nights and difficulties. Unfortunately, people don’t see all that mothers and fathers do for their children, and observers can sometimes be cruel. Jordan Driskell and his wife Briana love their five wonderful children Zoe, Dakota, Hollin, Asher and Gavin. Raising five young children has changed their lives enormously, but they love every minute of it.

Jordan gave another reason for using leashes: his children were constantly running around when they were in populated areas. It was a safety issue and the leash kept the children from getting lost.

This simple tool gave the children the freedom they wanted, but at the same time gave the parents control. However, when Jordan shared the video in 2022, he quickly realised that his method was not widely accepted.

The children had a fun day at the aquarium, and there was one thing in particular: they interacted with each other. The video went viral and people didn’t hold back.

The other paediatrician had a different opinion. He explained that he was not in favour of leashes for children as they were treated as pets.
