North Carolina judge threatens breastfeeding mom
North Carolina mother says she was kicked out of court while breastfeeding her baby, and warned the child will be taken from her if it happens again.
Danielle Bell said she was breast-feeding 3-month-old Penelope in the back of the Johnston County courtroom last week as she waited for her traffic court case to be called. A deputy told her to leave, saying no children under 12 were allowed in the courtroom, she said.
Bell said she left, even though state and federal laws permit women to breast-feed in public facilities and she and the baby had been covered up by a sling.
"I felt discriminated against," she said Monday. "This is the way she survives - by breast-feeding - because she refuses a bottle."
They’re coming for the children. ....

uh, you don't have a right to bring a child into a court room.. if you have a court date you need to make arrangements for your child to be watched outside of the court room. its just not the place for a child or baby........ I would say they could have looked past that, but then the bitch whipped out her tit. that's taking it a bit far, I agree.

I'd like to hear the "rest of the story". Sounds like a sex act was in progress.
