Oh, yea. "Honey? Can little Davy sleep in his own bed tonight?"
Twenty five and still living at home.
I can remember being teased in kindergarten about sucking my thumb. It stopped within a week. I can't imagine what an 8 year old titty baby must be going through. Somebody slap sense into that lady.
Hell, no:
Prosecutors are trying to force a woman to stop breast-feeding her 8-year-old son, a practice that once temporarily landed the boy in foster care.
During a brief hearing Tuesday, Judge Ann Einhorn warned Lynn Stuckey, 34, against continuing the practice and set future court dates to consider the prosecutor's petition claiming neglect.
Stuckey lets her son nurse once every 10 days or so, a practice she calls natural, child-led weaning, though she's unsure whether she still produces milk.
The state took custody of the boy in July 2000 after a baby sitter called a child-abuse hot line, and he remained in foster care for several months. Einhorn had approved his homecoming, saying Stuckey was no longer nursing.
The single mother appeared on a morning talk show last month to discuss her situation, the first time she was identified publicly. The program included a tape of the boy while suckling.
"I think people need to see me and my child and realize that this is a perfectly normal practice," Stuckey said on the program. "We are your standard middle-class American family, and we're not doing anything wrong."
About a week later, prosecutor John Piland filed the petition, which alleges that Stuckey has neglected her son by placing him at risk of emotional harm; failed to correct the conditions that triggered the foster care two years ago; and exposed him to ridicule by showing the tape.
The petition does not bring criminal charges, instead asking the judge to intervene under the state's juvenile laws. The judge could terminate parental rights, but Piland would not say whether he'll seek that.
"The court has broad powers to do lots of things," he said.
A new hearing was set for Sept. 10.
The boy's father lived in Oregon during the last court test and has had little role in raising him.

She also said she felt breast-feeding might be inappropriate when a child reaches his teens.
MIGHT be inappropriate??? MIGHT??? Hard to believe she has the nerve to actually say this in public.
Apparently, she's one of those idiots who read the parenting books, written by liberal clods who believe in the child raising the parents. I suppose that if the kid wanted to watch her and her partner/whatever having sex, she wouldn't mind. This country is beyond the toilet and is in the septic tank.
I would bet that was BEFORE she allowed a tv station to show a tape of her breast feeding her son.
So little Boob Jr will now get teased at school and mom will file a lawsuit against the school district claiming her son was unjustly harassed and the the teasers will be expelled due to zero teasing tolerance policy.
" She also said she felt breast-feeding might be inappropriate when a child reaches his teens."
Might be? MIGHT BE?!! For the majority of us, there aren't any "might be's" about it, we know it's inappropriate and wrong. sheeesh.
Who had three boys, Nat Pat and Tat.
It was fun in the breeding,
But Hell in the feeding,
For there was no tit for Tat.
I'm so ashamed, but I couldn't resist.
