I thought this was some fun news so I decided to share. The woman was able to breastfeed, talk on the phone, and drive at the same time.
I can understand not wanting to hear your baby cry because it's hungry but it sounds like she had other kids in the car that could have given the baby a bottle or she could have pulled off somewhere to breastfeed. If she's so insistent on using breast milk she could have pumped before. Even when told that she was endangering all of her children she didn't seem to care. I know that she thinks that she's a safe driver and all but it's not always your own ability to drive. If someone hit her car the airbag would probably have killed her baby. Personally I try not to talk on the phone and I couldn't imagine doing something else while driving and talking on the phone.
KETTERING, Ohio -- A Dayton mother is facing charges for breast feeding her daughter while driving her other children to school.
Genine Compton was pulled over by Kettering police Thursday at Far Hills and Dorothy Lane while taking her other children to school.
Police say Comptom 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 endangering and violating the child restraint law. Compton told News Center 7 Friday, "If my child's hungry, I'm going to feed it."
Police say it is against the law 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 say there is not only the risk of a crash, but deployment of the airbag.
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 is is necessary.
She could face up to 180 days in jail and fines for the child endangering citation.
