Gwyneth : Not Running with Scissors

46. Is nobody else realizing there is probably a caretaker for both of them outside the shot? Just a thought.

48. I think Josh is right about two things: 1, obviously Paltrow saw this and is pissed off, either she or her people are trying to do a little damage control. 2, why look like you are careless with your kids if you are a celebrity. And why would anyone argue AGAINST holding the hand of a very young child? And I didn't see the words unfit or neglect used at all by the people suggesting that the child's hand should have been held, the only people here who used the words unfit and neglect were the people making excuses for Gwyneth. Maybe they know something we don't?

49. Parents do not hold their children's hands every place they go or for every second. I can't believe all of you super parents out there hold your kids' hand all the time. I have three boys and I know I don't. Have not lost a child yet. Even at crowded malls, carnivals and theme parks, although I did hold their hands most of the time (when they were under 5) I am sure there were moments when I let go. It is not the thought of kidnapping that is ridiculous but the fact that all the people are so concerned with someone kidnapping a child of someone famous and thinking that such thoughts should guide their every move. Most of the kidnappings that have been in the news, did not occur when a child was walking right next to their parent. Furthermore, the comments that Apple should be left with the nanny are just as bad. How many times are there comments about famous people because they are letting the nannies raise the kids. You can't have it both ways.

Josh - do you really hold your child's hand everywhere you go? i suggest you have someone follow you with a camera and see if that is really true.

For the record, I am not a Gwyneth fan and I agree Apple is a silly name for a child. But it is not for me to judge.

50. Apple is adorable and her dress and shoes are appropriate for a child. First, the car door is wide open, so you can assume someone else is with them. Second, anyone who has children knows how hard it can be to get them in and out of the car...add crutches and it becomes harder. Third, they are walking on a sidewalk, not a busy street. It is likely that Gweneth was just trying to get to the sidewalk and catch up with the people she was with. If she is going shopping, them someone else has to be carrying her purse!

People should stop judging celeberties based on one picture.

51. This is amazing, I don't believe what I am seeing here. These idiots will carry a purse for Gwyneth but won't hold Apple's hand? ROTFLMAO! Only in Hollyweird.

52. That little girl must be extremely well behaved to walk beside her mom like that and not run into the street or something. And, it you are impared like that especially in her circumstances aren't you taking a risk of having your little girl snatched away! Hope there is a body guard in that SUV.......people sometimes don't think .......the world can sometimes be not only a very ugly place but a very dangerous place.....that picture shows just how real danger can be........get hopping....................................

53. Are you kidding me? Yes, only Gwyneths people would understand that you don't always hold your childs hand. I have a 3 year old and we hold hands when we cross the streets or parking lots or when there are a lot of people. Other than that, she is capable of walking next to me where I can see her and vice versa. There is no way every single time you step out in public with your 3 year old child you are holding their hand. Absolutely absurd. I actually think that the ones freaking out really aren't concerned you just want to find something wrong with Gwyneth.

54. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, STOP! SHES ON CRUTCHES.

APPLE IS FINE!!!

EVEN IF THE PIC IS CROPPED...THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILD. STOP STOP STOP YOU RETARDS!!

ARE YOU WATCHING YOUR OWN CHILDREN WHILE YOU SPEND YOUR TIME SURFING THE INTERNET? PROBABLY NOT.

GET REAL. GET A LIFE.

55. Ringo...I was somewhat joking when I said someone was holding her purse. If you have ever been on crutches you must know it is difficult to hold on to anything while balancing, so the point I was making is that there is someone else with them. I am with californiamiss on this...just stop! Three year old children are capable of walking and I am sure that someone would be holding her hand if there was any threat to her. I can't even believe that I am posting about this, but the critcism is so ridiculous I couldn't help myself.

People post bad things about Jolie always carrying her kids and then do the same thing when another star allows their child to walk. This just proves that people will find fault with stars in an effort to feel better about themselves.

56. People, Gwyneth and Chris Martin are fabulous parents, very dedicated and very involved in both their children's lives. They have nannies and bodyguards close by at all times, they are very private people and keep their family very safe. Do not judge when you do not know. Gwyneth took Apple shopping with her: she was not driving, she had her hired help there with her at all times and Apple was perfectly safe at all times. If she were just a regular mom with her daughter and a nanny nobody would think anything about it; just because it's Mrs. Martin everybody is concerned about the child's welfare. Apple is a beautiful, well behaved girl and dressed to the nines -- always. Please leave them alone!!!!!!!

57. Okay - first of all, as for Gwyneth's daughter's name, weren't people naming their kids Rumer or Scout or Jett or ??? worse than naming them Apple? Don't many parents consider their children the "apple of their eye"?? (And I mean no disrespect to Bruce Willis & Demi Moore and John Travolta & Kelly Preston).

Secondly, do all of you people who are attacking Gwyneth about not having someone holding Apple's hand take your children's hand 100% of the time? Look at the picture again - do you see ANY other vehicles around this car? Do you see ANY other people on the sidewalk coming from either direction? Do you see ANYTHING other than Gwyenth, Apple, and the car? Could this possibly be - 1) a retouched photo or 2) taken in a private entryway area???? Think about it people - pictures may speak a thousand words, but with todays technology the picture may not be what was originally shot either....
