I have had to pull her out of harm's way by the leash a couple times and I'm always glad it's attached to a harness. You never know when you may have to do that so I would stick with the harness exclusively from now on. I hope your baby is okay after that thoughtless act by your friend.
Scooter's my first, so I guess I wasn't awared of the issue either, I thought as long as he didn't pull on the collar wouldn't be a problem. If he has a collar on it will just be to hold tags on from now on!
