@paul Not that I don't agree we have idiots everywhere.

For example, some American perversions, leashes for kids (I know that you would not believe, but it's rather common thing in the US; also it explains why Americans treat kids like dogs, sadism of adopting parents etc):
But using a lease as a example is bad. I'm going to assume your not american. Because I've lived in quite a few states and in large cities and I've seen this 1 time in 23 years.

Its 100% not a rather common thing here. Its not even slightly remotely common. Honestly besides a few select idiots or maybe a medical case no one does that.

However there are tons and tons of bad parents doing a plethora of ACTUAL common things you'd find in america, though I assume its common no matter where the bad parent is from. Use them instead.
