Dad faces intense criticism for using leashes on his 5-year-old quintuplets

Jordan Driskell, a 31-year-old father of five-year-old quintuplets, has faced some backlash for his choice to utilize child leashes in order to handle his lively children. Managing a group of five children of the same age can be quite challenging, so Driskell made the decision to use leashes to ensure their safety while out in public.

In the past, Driskell’s family utilized a six-seat stroller, but it became less feasible as the children got older. The leashes enable his children to freely explore while remaining under his watchful eye.

A video of their visit to the aquarium gained immense popularity, leading to a lively discussion. There was some criticism regarding the use of leashes, with others offering alternative suggestions for better parenting or training techniques.

Dr. Deborah Gilboa, an expert in parenting, supports the use of leashes, particularly for young children or those with neurological differences. Nevertheless, she suggested shifting towards verbal communication as children develop.


Parents should have the freedom to select their parenting approaches without facing unwarranted criticism. What is your opinion on children being tethered in public? Feel free to express your thoughts in the comments section.
