Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
I am all for the right to publicly bf but I think this is really getting ridiculous now she is planning on staging a nurse-in where a bunch of nursing mothers gather outside the police station to breastfeed to drive home the fact that breastfeeding is legal. This is not a case of someone was nursing on the sidewalk and being harassed by the police. The police did not tell her to stop breast feeding, I'm sure he knows it's legal

Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
I didn't read this whole thread so maybe this was said already....I could definitely understand her getting upset & making a complaint & bringing it to someone's attention to make sure something like that doesn't happen again.... but why sue over it???? Seems like it's all about making a profit from the situation, which makes me think she's a jerk.

I get everyone point and I'am also a breastfeeding mom so I get that also. All I'm saying is I do not believe a word Andrea says. She is always looking to get money. This whole situation turned into something else and once again she is coming out looking like mother of the year!! Which she is not.
she knows how to work the system know exactly what to say and act. She is a phony I can't believe the attention she is getting right now and I'm sure she knows deep down that she is going to get some $$$$$ out of this.
I am baffled why so many are believing this woman's story without questioning. Just because she bf her child does not mean she can't be a liar or a crazy who lies or twists stories for profit somehow. 
I agree....none of us were there so why defend her?
The same question can be posed to those easy to believe the cop was justified in his actions of not upholding the law. You weren't there, why defend the cop?
B/c the cop is the one being accused, could be sued, lose his job, by someone who others are stating is not a credible source.
So because he's a cop we should just assume he's right?
That's a very scary thought.
We have laws and a system of checks and balances for a very real reason. Humans can be known to abuse power.
As for the validity of the story, you're basing that on heresy; comments made on a message board. That is ridiculously far from reliable.
How would you feel if you were this woman and people were judging you based on statements made by some anonymous poster? That's horrible. I know I would be flipping out.
And I can flip that. It seems simply b/c she is a woman who was "BF" she is automatically a truthful person and worthy of support against the police officer. How would you feel if that cop was your father or boyfriend or husband? I just don't understand why the heartstrings for this woman, but not the police officer doing the difficult job of dealing with ALL types of crazies in the world. And yes, I believe many of things i am reading about her. Why has nothing has come out about the police officer yet in this world of the internet that we live in?
Not at all. I'm not a mother and I couldn't give a single shit she was bf'ing.
I care that being topless isn't against the law and that law wasn't upheld.
End of story.
But it was upheld. He didn't arrest her. If he had arrested her or issued a ticket or a warrant- then I would agree.
If she only wanted to make a complaint- why is this in the news? Who leaked it? The officer should have been spoken to- end of story. This didn't need to be a media sensation.
I believe I also read a few headlines saying that she is suing Riverhead Police Dept (I could be wrong there)
ETA: I just read the article posted above. SHE called the press.
She says the officer asking her to cover up "scared" her.
And here's part of her FB comment on the article
"Chief, since you and your police officer assumed based on nothing other than speculation that I would file a lawsuit, I guess you won't mind that I now will prepare to file a lawsuit for violating my rights, harassment, intimidation, violating my infants right to access food and whatever else as provided by the law."

Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
After reading the last article posted, I think they are in the wrong. To acknowledge that he told her to cover up as a courtesy to the officer is wrong. The point of the law is that no mom has to justify how, when, or why they are nursing their baby. To say the officer's comfort should come before the newborn baby's is wrong. If they truly knew this woman was looking for trouble all he had to do was say he'd prefer to wait until she finished to take the statement. I don't know how brushing the law aside when it suits the police is the right response.

Exactly this! The latest article, to me, proves that the police are more wrong. And to a pp, she is not suing. She filed a complaint. The law specifically protects nursing mothers from being asked or told to cover up, regardless of the comfort of anyone else. If the officer was at all concerned about being accused of indecency, he simply should have said "I'll let you give your baby your undivided attention, and when you're finished I can take your statement."
I don't care if you think or know that this woman is nuts. In the latest article she goes on record as saying all she wants is a little sensitivity training. She isn't calling for him to be fired and, as far as I can tell, she isn't asking for money. The police are wrong and quite frankly if I was available that is a nurse-in I would attend.

From the article:
Zeledon-Mussio said she really had no intention of taking legal action until she saw the department's response to her complaint. Learning today that the chief said the officer "did the right thing" only confirmed her decision to find a lawyer.

OK, I must have missed that. Do I think she needs to sue, no. But again, she is the one who was wronged and she is well within her rights to explore her legal options.

OMG that follow up story infuriates me!
What a step backwards for nursing mothers! Good for her for taking this further.
If I was a nursing mother today I would be at that nurse in.
Unbelievable.

Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
I totally understand that she didn't have to cover up if she was feeding her baby that makes complete sense especially since she was in her own car...... BUT I don't understand why some posts on this thread were saying things like anyone can expose their breasts like as if for no apparent reason bf or not and when I read the law I didn't get that from what I read .....maybe I'm reading it wrong but to me this sounds like if you just willy nilly have your breast out that its illegal exposure am I reading that right? .....So who knows what actually happened .....for instance what if she had her breasts out after feeding just to make him uncomfortable which in that case the bf was complete and at that point her exposure of her body would be a violation of the law???? Would that be correct?
§ 245.01 Exposure of a person.
A person is guilty of exposure if he appears in a public place in such
a manner that the private or intimate parts of his body are unclothed or
exposed. For purposes of this section, the private or intimate parts of
a female person shall include that portion of the breast which is below
the top of the areola. This section shall not apply to the breastfeeding
of infants or to any person entertaining or performing in a play,
exhibition, show or entertainment.
Exposure of a person is a violation.
Nothing in this section shall prevent the adoption by a city, town or
village of a local law prohibiting exposure of a person as herein
defined in a public place, at any time, whether or not such person is
entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition, show or entertainment.

Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
Is it illegal to ask a nursing mother to use a cover in a situation like this?
I think she is a complete and utter moron for the way she is commenting on various media sites and getting into back-and-forth with other commenters. Lawyers will have a field day with that if this suit comes to fruition.

It's not 'illegal', but it is a rights violation. Nursing mothers have the right to breastfeed with or without a cover in any location they are otherwise allowed to be. They also have the right to breastfeed without being asked or told to move or cover up.
I want to say that my defense of the situation has nothing to do with who this woman is. She may or may not be crazy and/or a moron and/or have a diabetic cat who needs rice in Egypt. Regardless, the police chief went on record to support one of his officers asking a nursing mother to cover up. THAT is what I am against, because all nursing mothers share the rights I outlined above.

That was kinda my point earlier--it wasn't illegal for him to request her to cover. She could say no.
Idk maybe I'm more laid back but when I was nursing if someone asked me to cover or if someone looked uncomfortable I would throw a swaddle blanket over my shoulder. Ta-da! And I moved on with my day.

I think it's great that covering up works for some mothers. It doesn't work for us. The mother in this story states she didn't even have her diaper bag, she wasn't expecting to be out long. She may not have had anything to cover with, and therefore covering up would mean stopping to feed her baby. Or maybe, like mine, her baby pulls covers off or cries or stops nursing to chew on the cover. Whatever the reason, it doesn't work for everyone and the law supports that.
And maybe I'm too combative, but I don't give a flying f*ck if someone looks uncomfortable while I feed my kid. That's their problem, not mine.

Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
For all those who say who cares if someone is uncomfortable when seeing a BF child/mom, there is a difference. The officer felt uncomfortable but HAD to look at her to do his job and take her report. He could NOT turn his back or look away or walk away. He HAD to do a job to speak to her. He also has a right to not feel uncomfortable, but yet, he had to do his job. Should he have told her he would take her report after she was finished? Then she would have sued for not handling the situation quickly enough.
I read a comment someone else made on another site and it said, "would you go into a job interview while BF a baby?" No. There are certain situations where it's just not appropriate. Illegal, no. Appropriate, no. And personally I feel if you have to have a close and direct face to face conversation with a man who is a police officer and he asks you to cover up so you don't accuse him of staring at your breasts while he takes your report, why not just do that for the time being? Or stop BF for those few minutes. You can't expect him to just have to deal with it when it made him uncomfortable. I can easily understand a male police officer being very uncomfortable if a woman were exposed in his presence (again, a woman who is calling to make complaints against another man no less).I think the police officer had every right to be concerned with being accused of staring at a woman's breast that may be exposed to some extent, while taking her complaint. As I said all along, police officers have their jobs on the line and all this man did was try to cover his base to not be accused of something inappropriate.
But of course, this woman with her history has to sue and call the press. Not shocking I guess since I read many comments that say on her own Facebook page that she makes placenta smoothies.
I am personally glad his superior is backing him.

And that's completely your choice...and I have sisters that are in FULL agreement with you so I understand your POV.
I just don't let it bother me that much.

This! I feel this was too, bc as a nursing mother, I wouldn't want to be told by a police officer to cover up. To me, the bigger issue is that these cop didn't know (or didn't care about) the rights of nursing women. If this woman, in all her crazy, can somehow raise awareness for this issue, than good for her!
ETA: I know plenty of cops who were forced to look at far worse things than a breastfeeding mother, and were able to function and do their jobs just fine! IMO, the cops level of comfortableness doesn't matter one bit. I don't think you can argue that he was worried about being accused of staring at her breast while BFing, bc it's no worse than a low cut top, and I doubt he'd tell a woman wearing a v-neck to cover up her cleavage...

Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding
MZ is right about everything.
I can totally picture it, and blaring/barking (or even whispering) "Cover 'that' up" in a way that intimidated her and her son is so out of line and demeaning.
When you go in for a job interview, you are there to impress THEM, and should have childcare.
When you friggin' call the cops because you need help and you're hiding out in a car with your hungry child, you do what you have to do, and the officer should behave as though he is there to serve, protect, and help. End of story.
It's not about his discomfort with a legal and necessary activity. It's not about him at all. By backing him up, the Chief is sending a message to all women. Don't like it one bit.

I get everyone point and I'am also a breastfeeding mom so I get that also. All I'm saying is I do not believe a word Andrea says. She is always looking to get money. This whole situation turned into something else and once again she is coming out looking like mother of the year!! Which she is not.
she knows how to work the system know exactly what to say and act. She is a phony I can't believe the attention she is getting right now and I'm sure she knows deep down that she is going to get some $$$$$ out of this.
I am baffled why so many are believing this woman's story without questioning. Just because she bf her child does not mean she can't be a liar or a crazy who lies or twists stories for profit somehow.
I agree....none of us were there so why defend her?
The same question can be posed to those easy to believe the cop was justified in his actions of not upholding the law. You weren't there, why defend the cop?
I haven't defended her or him in any of my 2 posts on this thread...
But you posed the question so I asked the same thing in return.
That's why I quoted you.

Re: Suffolk mom files complaint over public breastfeeding

MZ is right about everything.
I can totally picture it, and blaring/barking (or even whispering) "Cover 'that' up" in a way that intimidated her and her son is so out of line and demeaning.
When you go in for a job interview, you are there to impress THEM, and should have childcare.
When you friggin' call the cops because you need help and you're hiding out in a car with your hungry child, you do what you have to do, and the officer should behave as though he is there to serve, protect, and help. End of story.
It's not about his discomfort with a legal and necessary activity. It's not about him at all. By backing him up, the Chief is sending a message to all women. Don't like it one bit.
