A video that went viral on social of a father has sparked furious debate, about using a leash to take his five-year-old quintuplets for a walk.
Dad uses a leash to take his five-year-old quintuplets for a walk.
Jordan Driskell, 31, from Kentucky, caused a stir when he shared the clip on Instagram.
This video showed him walking with his five young children: Zoey, Dakota, Hollyn, Asher, and Gavin, whom he shares with his wife, Briana, aged 34.
However, the clip quickly sparked a significant backlash from viewers.
In the clip, many express their outrage over the toddlers being outfitted with leashes.
However, other many support this thus preventing them from wandering off, running away, or getting lost.
‘When people judge me for using child leashes,’ he wrote in the video.
In the video, Jordan holding onto five ropes, with each rope connected to a harness worn by one of his children.
After that, the family all walked together calmly outside of an aquarium.
Social media reaction
The video was posted on Instagram and gained more than three million views.
However, Instagram users have great controversy, some of whom ‘respected’ the dad’s decision, another many feel angry by a child, not a dog.
One person said: Those kids are too old to be led on a leash! That’s your child, not a dog!
A second wrote;What kind of father are you! Stop doing that bad thing right now.
They are not dogs, they also ask for respect. Another added.
Another commented: What a responsible father! With 5 children you need to do the same.
Someone else said; Nothing is wrong in this case. Great dad.
Another said: Children need a leash, they run around a lot.
Respectfully, the right thing to do if you don’t want to lose your children. What did you think about this incident?
