I dunno - I used to teach. Some kids need leashes. It may look bad, but it's a helluva lot better than losing a kid or having them run out in front of a bus. Although I can't say for sure. Luckily as bad as my son has gotten I've still never leashed him... But there's been a few times where, if I had the leash already, I would have used it! As for a straight jacket - well, if the mother's not physically strong to hold him (or can't take the time due to other children or something), then fine (I've been trained in child restraint - it ain't easy). But only in extreme moderation - if she's putting it on him for simple walks to the part... Well that seems pretty excessive. The comment that "he treats it like a game" indicates to me that the jacket is being used more than it should be. Any form of bodily restraint needs to stop when the child calms down (and only used after all other options have been exhausted).
