Stupidity is a criminal condition.

If the law doesn't punish you, the universe eventually will.

Ahh, but in this case who ends up losing? The kids? Think of the children. ;)

paraphrase: if an airbag hits my baby how is that any different than an airbag hitting me? It's the same difference. :headshake

I love how Jill Del Greco kind of gives her crap, in a local news kind of way.

I'm thinking of their genes, actually. This is how the gene pool cleans itself.

HAR! The little bastard would pop out from between the bag and the hag like a grape, and probably take out a pedestrian or two.

So it's not all bad, right?

:lol:

You are not right, dude.

Yeah, I'm working on that.

A Dayton mother is facing charges for breast feeding her daughter while driving her other children to school.

Genine Compton was pulled over by Kettering police Thursday at Far Hills and Dorothy Lane while taking her other children to school.

Police say Comptom could have injured her child and others because she was breast feeding and talking on the cell phone while driving the vehicle.

Compton was issued citations for child endangering and violating the child restraint law. Compton told News Center 7 Friday, "If my child's hungry, I'm going to feed it."

Police say it is against the law to drive with a child in your lap. Children under 4 or 40 pounds must be properly restrained in a child safety seat.

In this case, officers said Compton had the child in the lap with the baby's head up against the steering wheel. They say there is not only the risk of a crash, but deployment of the airbag.

Compton said she will take the advice of the officers into consideration, but she may breast feed her baby while driving in the future if she feels that is is necessary.

She could face up to 180 days in jail and fines for the child endangering citation.

WTF? What an idiot.

How attentive was she while operating a car, breastfeeding AND talking on the phone. After all of it to say that she'd do it again just goes to show how incredibly stupid some people are.

And maybe they should create a law about this. I mean really, if the kid is hungry, maybe she ought to get up in time to feed it BEFORE getting in the damn car and driving. What an idiot. I hope gets the book thrown at her, especially since she said she would do it again.

It really is too bad we can't arrest people for being stupid, isn't it?
Maybe they should just take her car and license away, like a DUI or something. I think it should be against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving as well. People's attention spans are too short, and cell phones are WAY too much of a distraction.

This is 'Murrica. We have to multi-task. To keep up.

Plus, she has a disability. She's stupid. :3eye:

Step One: pull over and stop when kidlet is hungry. Steps Two and Three concurrently: feed kid and phone ahead to tell them you're going to be a little bit delayed but are en route.

Somehow this kind of planning seems to have escaped her mind.

She's just lucky the cops liked their coffee black.

Which reminds me of a long-ago Bill Holbrook breast-pump joke in his defunct strip On The Fasttrack:

"How does your raisin bran taste?"
"Funny. Why?"
