KETTERING, Ohio — Police in Ohio say a woman has been charged with child endangering after another motorist reported she was both breast-feeding a youngster and talking on a phone while driving.

Police in the Dayton suburb of Kettering say the caller told them he saw the woman Thursday.

Officer Michael Burke says authorities used a license plate number to track down 39-year-old Genine Compton.

He said the woman told officers she was breast-feeding and wouldn't let her child go hungry.

Burke said the legal concern is that Compton had a child in her lap while driving, not that she was breast-feeding in public.

He said the child was under 2 years old.

The woman faces up to 180 days in jail and a $1,800 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor.

Was she also applying her mascara at the same time?

I commend the motorist who spotted her. He hollered over, asking her what she was doing, but could easily have chosen not to get involved. His persistence may easily have saved the baby’s life.

[hocndoc]

Sounds like he was talking on the cell phone and throwing a hissy fit, all while driving.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

By talking on the cell phone she was merely trying to keep abreast of things.

Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. My God, what was that woman thinking?!

[muawiyah]

What was she holding the steering wheel with?

'You want to pop your titty out and breastfeed this kid?'

LMAO, that says it all about the brainless titmaster.

[randog]

...I said, 'I can't believe you have that kid in your lap and she said, 'You want to pop your titty out and breastfeed this kid?' That's what she said to me.

Just as I thought--indignant that someone would dare call her out.

It's not about thinking. It's about how it makes you feel.

I remember when a gal tied up I~5 in San Diego when she got in a wreck putting on her pantyhose while driving to work

Was she tailgating? ; )

Anyone that dumb would have to be kinda foxy, though.

"Just as I thought--indignant that someone would dare call her out. "

And why wouldn't she be? She probably feels it's nobody's business. How much control over her existence do you demand?

“This needs to be one of the Darwin award stories.”

This doesn’t qualify. The Darwin Award is given to those who kill themselves doing something stupid before they are able to reproduce and contaminate the gene pool.

Hooyah!! Out come the liberaltarians!!

[gitmo]

I have heard that breastfeeding is GOOD for the baby. Now I’m confused.

[NilesJo]

Coulda been worse....think Octo-Mom!!!

[Red Steel]

What was she holding the steering wheel with?

An oral embrace.

[Jaxter]

What kind of cop would pull her over? Must’ve been lactose intolerant.

[azishot]

It’s not about thinking. It’s about how it makes you feel.

***Even sadder...these “people” can vote. (sigh)
