Trucker Calls Police
Police in Ohio charged a mother because she was breast-feeding while driving.
Catherine Donkers, 29, was charged with child endangerment for breast-feeding her 7-month-old daughter while driving on the Ohio Turnpike.
A passing trucker saw Donkers nursing her child at the wheel, thought it was dangerous and called the Ohio Highway Patrol.
Donkers insisted that she did nothing wrong, and said she didn't feel that she was putting her child in any excess danger.
"I think there's lots of things that we do where we put ourselves at risk, just by the very fact that I'm in a car and there's lots of car accidents every single day," Donkers said. "I think it would be reasonable to say that even that's a danger."
Donkers said her daughter rides in a car seat at all times when she is not nursing.
