    I’m going to say something that will not improve the context of the image.

    These are supposed to be used on children.

          20 years later, in therapy: “do you have any memory when this desire started?” “well I think it started when my mom got these weird handcuffs and used them so I wouldn’t run away…”

          I remember when I was in Disneyland my sister put a dog leash on my trousers so I would not run away (I was told because of child trafficking in Paris)

        What use would two handcuffs with a 3-foot long cord between them serve? I mean I get what you’re implying but these wouldn’t restrain anyone in any meaningful way.

      One cuff is attached to the parent and the other to a child. Like in movies where a briefcase is handcuffed to a courier, the only difference is that one is a plot device and the other is Walmart making money off child abuse.
