She was breastfeeding her child while driving with the child's head resting on the steering wheel and talking on a cell phone as well.

After receiving citations, she said she would still feed her baby while driving. What a stupid bitch. I hope she gets jail time.
 
I find the cellphone thing to be the bigger problem. Driving while breastfeeding isn't any more dangerous than holding a coffee in your hand. The worst case scenario is that the kid isn't protected by a car seat in the event of an accident.
 
This would be one of those rare instances where we agree.
 
Stupid people doing stupid things. What else is new.
 
What is Britney Spears doing in Dayton?

Are you kidding me? So if she gets into an accident and the air bag goes off, do you think her child would survive that accident? :shock:

Yeah I'm not really following you on this either. Breast-feeding seems at least infinity+1 times more dangerous for you and your kid. I don't have breasts or kids, so maybe the process is much simpler than I have perceived it to be, but it sure seems like a terrible, terrible idea to me.
 
child endangerment
no car seat
reckless driving
using cell phone while driving
probably under current law she could be charged with public indecency




they can keep her off the road.

That is exactly what I said. Not having the child in a car seat is the bigger problem.


Breastfeeding ties up 1 hand (not to mention breasts) to hold the baby, but doesn't require you to maintain active concentration on the action.

Perhaps I should make myself more clear. I don't think that breastfeeding while driving is as distracting as talking on a cellphone while driving, meaning that it has a lower chance of causing an accident. However, if in an accident occurs, it increases the chance of the kid getting hurt.

rathi, that's not what you said. You thought her talking on the cell phone was the more serious offense. Then you said that in the worst case scenario, the child would get hurt in an accident, like it was nothing. :shock: That's child endangerment. She needs to get jail time to learn her lesson.
 
I hadn't seen the video before now. Did anyone see the age of the child she was feeding? She's at least 3 years old. My point about the age is that it's not like it was an emergency feeding because her child was starving. :roll:

No I said it was more likely lead to harm.

Are you kidding me? I pointed out the danger to the kid if an accident occurs, which is a very true and very serious fact. Anything else you read anything else into it, thats your own issue.

The only point I wanted to make is that breastfeeding a kid while driving is a huge problem because it increases the risk of the kid dying in an accident. I wanted to make the distinction between talking on the cellphone, which is a danger because it increases the chance of an accident happening. The moron was doing both, making her doubly stupid.
 

I guess I misunderstood your post. I apologize, and I thank you for explaining what you meant. Cheers! :2wave:

I agree--she's a moron.

The kid will die if the airbags deploy.
 

Rathi could be right, depending on how expensive the phone was.
:2razz:

Or am I missing the point?
 
I'll volunteer to supervise her by taking the baby's place.
 

I hope they got a breast print.

It seems like a Parental Negligence issue to me, and that can and should be extremely severe.
Jesus, a 5mph bump of another car or obstacle could result in the death of the infant.
