Cracking Down on Breastfeeding
Mall security guards may have played no role in stopping the mall shooting that occurred in Utah last week, but there is one “crime” they’re prosecuting, at least at the Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing, Pa.: breastfeeding.
REPORTER: So Leigh says she found a quiet spot on a bench facing a tree in the center of the court - her husband and daughter sitting next to her.
Leigh: I had my stroller sitting in front of me. I was breastfeeding quietly and nobody seemed to mind.
REPORTER: But apparently - someone did. Leigh says she was approached by a security guard who, after receiving a complaint - asked her to cover up.
Tony Bellini: I think my wife would be more embarrassed than anybody else if she were showing excess skin.
REPORTER: The Bellinis say the situation escalated and when Leigh wouldn’t follow the guard’s orders - the Bellinis say the guard threatened to call police and ban them from the mall.

Cracking down on Breastfeeding at the Mall…
I saw this on the Retail Traffic Magazine blog…You’ve got to be kidding me! What’s next? Will I get in trouble for changing my daughter’s diaper on a bench?…

That’s a great step by the Mall- I bet the mall has a modern maternity store in it, so they’re making friendly with one of their tenants. And better still, threatening to ban customers. Good move.
And what could be more disgusting, unhealthy or unnatural than some infant doing what comes built in its genes- nursing at the boob.
Funny- the boobs in this incident were fully dressed- as security guards!
