Quintuplet dad divides opinion for using leash with his five-year-olds

BBC OS

Available for over a year

Let's talk about a viral video you might have seen - which got people talking about the best way of taking five young children for a walk at the same time. Jordan Driskell, from Lexington, Kentucky, is the dad of quintuplets: Zoey, Dakota, Hollyn, Asher and Gavin. They're five years old. Jordan uploaded a video to Instagram which showed him taking the children for a walk - using what you might call reins, or harnesses, or leashes. While some people sent their support, there was a backlash from others - one wrote: "they are humans, not dogs!" Photo shows: Jordan Driskell out with his five children. Credit: Jordan Driskell
