Just the other day in Kettering, Ohio, police charged a woman who was allegedly driving her vehicle while using her cell phone and simultaneously breast-feeding her child (if ever their was a true "Octomom" reference, this might be it).The woman was observed by a concerned citizen who alerted the authorities who in turn tracked her down using her vehicle's license plate number.
When confronted by officers, she allegedly stated that she was breast-feeding and would not let her child go hungry. Fair enough - except she was driving a car at the time and must have had the child on her lap, not strapped in, never mind in a car seat.
The woman was charged.
Now, before any of you get all hot and bothered about breast-feeding in public, know this. The charge was not for that act. It was for child endangerment.
The woman faces up to 180 days in jail and a $1,800 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor.
Remember this: it's not about the boob, stupid; it's about the stupid boob.

You failed to mention that the poor baby will forever be addicted to milkshakes to go and drinking and driving.
I guess then that drive throughs will take on a whole new meaning; the kid will be in therapy for the rest of her life!
