Several posts back somewhere, I was complaining about a lady towing a bunch of kids behind her and they were holding on to a rope.  I would say kids of about 5 to 6 years old. My problem with it was that if one or more of those kids would say, see a cute little puppy or kitten, he or she might let go and run after it and the danger is that if a car was coming it might hit the kid. Either they smartened up or they received complaints about it. Today the same lady went by with her little troop and there was someone (adult) walking in the back also. I was glad because that saved me from being a whistle blower because I would not like that but for the safety of the kids I would have done it. Now the kids will be safe.
