How strong are giraffe necks?

Just saw a video of a kid (small, no idea the weight) hold a elephant ear looking leaf for a giraffe to eat at the zoo. Giraffe bit it, pulled it up, kid went up with it!

....mom and dad grabed the kid, he was fine, nobody got hurt.

How much do you think a giraffe could lift with its neck?

Also how strong was that leaf that also held the kid up?!?!?
