Woman Pulled Over for Breastfeeding Two-Year-Old While Cruising Down Highway
LatestAn unidentified woman has been cited in Everett, Washington after a concerned citizen called 911, terrified that the woman was rolling along the highway with an unrestrained child on her lap. State troopers responding to the call found something even more surprising than a mom letting a kid play driver: she was breastfeeding her two-year-old.
According to KIRO TV, the woman was not cited for breastfeeding on the go, but improper child restraint. While there wouldn’t have been a problem if the mother had pulled over for a second, sitting a child on your lap (especially one as big as a two-year-old) and feeding them while taking the interstate is dangerous for a variety of reasons, including the risk of fatality to both mother and child.
