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.

Mr Motorist, is that the woman you observed breastfeeding her baby while driving?
I don’t know. I can’t tell with her blouse on.
Bump
Her husband wanted to know why she did not prepare dinner for him while she was at it.
Well, as long as she isn't strapped with a nuclear bomb on my doorstep demanding that I succumb to her way of thinking who am I to say that she is a danger to society? LOL!
It doesn’t take much of an impact to set an airbag off. The baby could have been squished in an instant.
Good grief.
And we shouldn’t leave the men out of the mix. I have often seen men reading what looks like reports while driving on the freeway.
I never saw her picture
Ive seen them reading AND eating a bowl of cereal while driving!
holy cow
You cant fix stupid!
What, did they pull over my wife again?
LOL!
Wasn’t there a movie about this?
“Mother, Jugs & Speed”
See? Now, this is why women should not be allowed to drive.
With the other one.
Let apply mascara at the same time; then I’ll be impressed.
Not saying he didn’t do the right thing, but anyone else find the irony in the man using his cell phone while driving to report this?
Doing what all mothers do leave her alone!
Careful or randog will call you a "liberaltarian" in lieu of a cogent argument. An ad hominum attack is the sign of true genius!
