Viral Video Of Crawling Baby On A Leash Being Constantly Pulled Back By Mom Divides TikTok

TikToker @jordanvarneau's hilarious video of the parenting hack didn't sit well with everyone.

One universal truth that all parents have to accept at some point is the fact that there will always be someone out there who is judging how you raise your children.

Whether it's a pregnant mom deciding what to have for dinner, parents shopping for diapers and toys, or helping their teenagers look at colleges, there will be someone judging every step of the way.


But one subject that people get really loud about is how a parent takes care of their child in public, including their use or absence of a baby or toddler leash.

Recently while attending a kids' basketball game, Jordan Varneau, of @jordanvarneau on TikTok, caught something he found to be hilarious on video, but which left viewers feeling a little divided.

In the video, Varneau showed a group of moms standing together and talking during the game. One child was lying on the ground while watching a tablet, in a child's protective case, of course, and next to them was a crawling, adventurous baby.

But as the baby made their way forward onto the basketball court, they suddenly slid rapidly backward. On their second and third attempt, the baby continued to slide back, and the recording finally caught the flash of the leash that was attached to the baby's waistband.

Hilariously on replay, the mother can be seen pulling her baby back to her without ever breaking her conversation.

A few also pointed out to any possible naysayers that no harm had come to the baby in the video.

While baby leashes have received negative attention in the past, with naysayers likening children on leashes to now being more like pets, leashes have become a much more practical and acceptable option in recent years.

It may not be true of every child, but some children are runners and adventurers from the moment they learn how to crawl, and sometimes instead of yelling at them or constantly chasing them, it's better to have them on a leash and allow them to explore the length of it worry-free.

Plus, for a mom in a situation like this, she was able to catch up with her fellow moms and watch her child perform in their basketball game without the distraction of chasing one of her children onto and around the basketball court.

Earlier in the day, Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the certification of President-elect Donald Trump's election win, smiling widely when the vote total reached the threshold declaring Trump the next president and when she received a standing ovation from her party as her vote total was announced.

We're all human here, and sometimes, we can't help but imagine what might have been.

A long-standing bit of gossip from Hollywood is that I, Robot's Will Smith turned down the opportunity to star in The Matrix, believing that the film Wild, Wild West was a better fit for his film presence, not to mention his inaccurate prediction that his film would be more successful than the franchise that would cast Keanu Reeves as Neo.

GOP Senator's Husband Ripped For Refusing To Shake Harris's Hand At Swearing-In Ceremony

Nebraska Republican Senator Deb Fischer's husband Bruce went viral after refusing to shake the hand of Vice President Kamala Harris—or even look at her—during his wife's swearing-in ceremony on Monday.

The exchange proceeded routinely, with Harris leading Senator Fischer in the oath of office. Fischer recited the oath, and the two shook hands as Harris thanked her for her contributions. However, when Harris turned to greet Bruce Fischer, saying, "May I extend congratulations to you?" and extending her hand, he declined to shake it, only saying, "Thank you," before averting his gaze.
