Mother Caught Driving While Breast-Feeding
Woman Also On Phone, Police Say

POSTED: 8:36 am EST March 2, 2009

KETTERING, Ohio -- A Dayton, Ohio, mother faces charges for breast-feeding her daughter while driving her other children to school, television station WHIO reported.

Genine Compton was pulled over by Kettering police Thursday while taking her children to school.

Police said Compton could have injured her child and others because she was breast-feeding and talking on the cell phone while driving the vehicle.

Compton was issued citations for child endangerment and violating a child restraint law. Compton told the station, "If my child's hungry, I'm going to feed it."

Police said it is against the law in Ohio to drive with a child in your lap. Children under 4 or 40 pounds must be properly restrained in a child safety seat.

In this case, officers said Compton had the child in the lap with the baby's head up against the steering wheel. They said there was not only the risk of a crash but also deployment of the air bag.

Compton said she will take the advice of the officers into consideration, but she may breast-feed her baby while driving in the future if she feels that it is necessary.

She could face up to 180 days in jail and fines for the child endangerment citation.

Pure stupidity, IMHO. She should have pulled over. She could have harmed that baby or caused an accident or both.

Again?? I remember the last time a thing like this happened in Ohio. Both the woman and her husband were off their rockers.

Yeah why not just pull over? I'm not familiar with breast feeding, but how long does it take?! Lol. Couldn't have held them up too long.
