Mom Faces Charges for Breast Feeding Baby While Driving and Talking On Cell Phone

Genine Compton of Ohio told police she was in a hurry to get her other children to school when she decided to breast feed her baby while driving her car and talking on her cell phone.

Police got a call from a concerned motorist who spotted the bizarre scene.

“I’m following behind a lady in a van who is driving while breastfeeding her newborn baby and talking on the cell phone,” said the 911 caller.

Compton was pulled over and ticketed by police for child endangerment and violating the child safety seat laws.

“I don’t want anything to happen to any of my children, that’s why I tell them to get in the seat belt, but this particular morning that child wanted to eat, and I did feed my child,” said Genine Compton in an interview with WHIO.

“In my 12 years in law enforcement I’ve never run into anything like this. You know, all you can really do is shake your head,” said Officer Michael Burke of the Kettering Police Department.

Despite facing 180 days in jail if convicted of the charges, Compton said if necessary she would do it again. LINK

Lady, get off of the phone, pull over and then feed the child. How dumb!!

People do some strange things while driving, but this takes the cake. Even if the child was STARVING and needed to be fed IMMEDIATELY – she couldn’t have pulled over? Or at least hung up the phone…and she is passing this stupidity on to children!!!

See this further supports my theory that people should have to take a class and pass a test to have children – just like your drivers license =)

At least this story wasn’t the result of a tragedy. Hopefully she’ll take the safety of her children and others on the road more seriously now.

My daughter is 19 months and still going strong. There is no way in hell I am going to risk her life, mine and the people driving along side me because she’s hungry. Either have someone else drive the car for you and lean over the car seat and pop the tit in the babies mouth or pull the hell over and then unstrap her from the car seat. There is no excuse whatsoever for her doing what she did.

@KC how long do you plan on breastfeeding?
LilMissRed

what the hell??!!! Is she serious?! when I BF ny babies.. I pulled it to the side smh!@ she sounds like a straight fool trying to make it sound ok what she did!
shunda

I know a lady that breastfed until her son was 3. I think that is gross.
Daisy

@Shunda I agree but to each their own.

I plan to breastfeed until my daughter is two. Besides the obvious religious reasons (which suggest two years tops) numerous Doctor’s and Health care professionals have repeatedly touted the benefits of breastfeeding. The children are smarter, stronger and healthier. Honestly, it was a lot easier to wean my son and I just wish she’d wake up one day and never ask for it but I can see already that I’m going to be stopping her cold turkey the night before her birthday.

And I say to each its own, what may be gross to you may not be to other people. Me personally I can’t imagine feeding my son who will be three in April but that’s just me and I’m not going to knock it if others do it.
Daisy

@KC your religion has a cut off age for breastfeeding? I said as well to each their own so I feel you on that. I don’t think mothers who breastfeed should knock or look down on mothers who don’t but it happens everyday same with working moms vs stay at home moms. Do what is best for you and yours and keep it moving.

My baby is 12 months and I am still nursing and I PULL OVER. One babies need to STAY in car seats what the HELL is she thinking. Two how the heck can baby eat stuffed behind a steering wheel. Three I may watch TV, I may do other things while nursing but I AM NOT doing TWO other things like talking on the phone and DRIVING. Not to mention four I use a nursing cover so I am not trying to have other bystanders and drivers watching… This is so nuts to me I can’t even begin. Where the HECK is she going that is so urgent she cannot pull over for 5-10 minutes to nurse?!?!? Can you imagine driving next to this mess and seeing this?

@ Daisy, I absolutely agree. I encourage my family and friends to breastfeed because many don’t know about the benefits to the baby but I don’t hold it against them. When I went back to college I struggled with supplementing and just decided to pump until he was 10 months and then I gave the okay to give him formula. My niece never developed her milk and some mothers cannot.

As for my religion in the Qur’an it says that 31:14 And we have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail, did his mother bear him and in years twain was his weaning…

It is furthered explained that the set of milk teeth in a human child is completed at the age of two years, which is therefore the natural extreme limit for breas-feeding(mind you this is according to the Qur’an) but again I say to each their own. I have heard of a muslim who breastfed their child to the age of 10…
shunda

I was just passing my opinion. Hey, take it or leave it. I believe there is a limit to everything and I for one never produced milk so you are correct to each is own but as I told this women to me 3 years old is gross and borderline molestation.
kcicero

Shunda no one is disagreeing with you…I agree but I take issue with you saying that it is molestation. Molesting someone is serious and should not be taken lightly…Nursing your child without any sexual intention to me falls no where near the category of molestation, IMHO but hey it’s my opinion.
mjoylaw

This chick is on some other shyt forreal..how da hail she even THINK of breastfeeding her INFANT while driving???

That stupid heffa, she must of started out at some point with the baby in the car seat…realized that the child was hungry…PULLLED OVER TO TAKE THE DAMN BABY OUT THE CAR SEAT…then commenced her stupid AZZ TO DRIVING???? WHILE TRYNA NURSE THE BABY??????

She shoulda been Chris Browned by her baby daddy!!!! (notice how I worked that in)
mjoylaw

I’ve heard of multi-tasking but DAAAAYUMMM!!!!! This itch is crazay!!
mjoylaw

Last comment on this…I tried to bf my 2 babies but IT HURT, honey it HURTS and it DOES NOT come naturally to every mom..so after 2 weeks and damn near chewed off nipples both times…I began stockpiling the best damn formula they MAKE for my precious ones, and guess what they are both healthy and doing GREAT today!!!!!!

So ladies if you can’t or simply don’t want to bf your child til they are in kindergarten, or even to 12 months, it will be okay! If, on the other hand, a mom is fortunate enough to experience this bond with her child for an extended duration IN THE BEST INTEREST of her child, that is lovely as well! Carry on

@Kc
I didn’t mean to offend you. It was other things this woman said that made me question her motives.
kcicero

Shunda we coool! If i tell you one more time that there’s nothing that anyone can say on here that would offend me. Lol girl you’re one of the more chill people on this blog so trust me no hard feelings. We were both just stating our opinions nothing more…nothing less.

And Eww didn’t know you were talking about a particular person…I’m not sure if I even want to know what this other woman said…
shunda

@KC
no you don’t as a mother it really disturbed me.
