| Driver’s food boob put baby in danger, say cops |
|
2009/03/02
POLICE in the US city of Kettering, Ohio, say a woman has been charged with child endangerment after another motorist reported she was both breast-feeding a baby and talking on a phone while driving.
Officer Michael Burke said Genine Compton, 39, was arrested after authorities traced her licence plate number.
He said the woman told officers she was breast-feeding and couldn’t let her child go hungry.
However, Burke said the legal issue was that Compton had a child in her lap while driving, not that she was breast-feeding in public.
He said the child was under two years old.
Police said Compton faced up to 180 days in jail and a 1800 (about R18 000) fine if convicted of the misdemeanor. — DDC
