So on news channel 7 @ 6 I was on the news because I was harassed last night by a security officer at the mall. There were a few things that they didn't put in their story... 1) The officer called the Spartanburg City Police on me. 2) Refused to look at the card stating the law from DHEC & SCOPE. 3) When her supervisor told her she was in the wrong she refused to apologize.. 4) She stood over my table the entire time I ate. Next the mall says they were "Just trying to help." If they were just trying to help then why did they... -call the police on me. -take my information & require my mother to go out to the vehicle to get my license to do a report against me. -feel the need to tell the officer to apologize to me. -need backup My civil rights and my child's civil rights were violated yesterday. They demanded that I cover her or go to a bathroom. There is soo much to the story but it's ridiculous. There is a poll on the home page of news channel 7 asking if breastfeeding in public offends you. http://www.wspa.com/midatlantic/spa/home.html it's in the middle on the right side... Feel free to call westgate mall or write letters! _________________ I WONDER IF THIS MALL IS OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON? Breastfeeding mom harassed by mall security!

2) Refused to look at the card stating the law from DHEC & SCOPE.
3) When her supervisor told her she was in the wrong she refused to apologize..
4) She stood over my table the entire time I ate.

-call the police on me.
-take my information & require my mother to go out to the vehicle to get my license to do a report against me.

My civil rights and my child’s civil rights were violated yesterday. They demanded that I cover her or go to a bathroom. There is soo much to the story but it’s ridiculous.

There is a poll on the home page of news channel 7 asking if breastfeeding in public offends you.

Let anyone offended by the naturalness of breastfeeding go try eating their lunch in a vehicle in extreme cold or heat and or try it in a public restroom. I think the husband and wife showed great strength and support for each other in this situation as well as control. Kudos kudos kudos!!!! Good for them!!!!

The nurse-in received excellent news coverage across the nation. You can read articles covering the story from the local paper the Reading Eagle, KNBC in Los Angeles, CA, CBS 3 in Philadelphia, PA and watch video coverage from WFMZ in Allentown, PA. While Pennsylvania state law does not explicitly address breastfeeding, one of the articles mentions that local legislation is currently being introduced in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to protect the right of women to breastfeed in public.
