A dad-of-five has sparked furious debate after sharing a video of himsel played in the background.
A dad-of-five is being shamed online for using a leash with his five-year-old quintuplets
Jordan Driskell, 31, from Kentucky, uploaded a video which showed him walking with his five kids - Zoey, Dakota, Hollyn, Asher and Gavin - whom he shares with his wife, Briana, 34
However, the clip quickly sparked a major debate between viewers - since the toddlers were all wearing leashes, ensuring that they couldn't wander off, run away, or get lost
'You ain't nothin' but a dog, player, ah, get it,' the lyrics read.
The clip showed Jordan holding on to five ropes - which were each connected to a harness that one of his kids wore - as the family all walked calmly together outside of an aquarium.

'Come walk a mile in my shoes,' he captioned it.
The Instagram video quickly went viral - gaining more than three million views - and it launched an argument between Instagram users, some of whom 'respected' the dad's decision to use a leash on his kids and others who slammed him for it, pointing out that they're 'humans not dogs.'
'I have nothing but respect for you sir,' wrote one supportive viewer.
Another added, 'Better safe than sorry. If I had that many I would do the same. Rock on!'
'With five kids you need that,' said someone else. 'Responsible parenting right here.'
'Considering my two-year-old tried to bolt into the street, yeah, we use leashes now too,' read a fourth comment, while a fifth said, 'Keeping them safe is priority number one. So you're all good, sir. It's not hurting them in any way.
'There's nothing wrong with this, I think it's brilliant. I always used baby harness with reigns on my two so they were always by me,' commented a fellow parent.
'Not going to lie, some kids really need leashes, nothing wrong with not wanting to lose your child every time you look away,' agreed someone else.

'Are they rescue?' asked one user, referring to rescue dogs that come from a shelter.
'But teachers can look after 30 kids without using leashes,' someone else pointed out.
Another person added, 'They are not dogs. How about teaching [them] what to do?'
'Are you gonna train them to pull a sleigh next? Which one has the red nose? Are any of them rescue?' read a different comment.
'Don't have so many kids,' quipped one commenter, while someone else said, 'Those kids are way too old to be walked on a leash like a d**n dog.'
While chatting with the show, Jordan explained that his kids love to 'run off and explore' due to their 'curiosity,' so he and his wife use leashes for their 'own peace of mind and sanity.'

He added that it 'allows them to leave the house and do fun stuff as a family without being stressed'
Jordan explained that they used to push around a five-seat stroller, but that it wasn't practical since it was so 'bulky'
'The other thing is, they want to walk when we go somewhere crowded. A leash gives them the opportunity to do that - but we're still in control. They love it,' he added 
'Kids are so curious - they want to run off and explore. For our own peace of mind and sanity, we use a leash,' he told the outlet. 
'It also allows us to leave the house and do fun stuff as a family without being stressed.'
