Breastfeeding Mom Accused of Indecent Exposure [View all]

The war on mothers who breastfeed in public continues across the country, embarrassing the women who do so.

A Washington D.C. mother was recently charged with indecent exposure after she was caught breastfeeding her 4-month-old in the hallway of a government building.

The mother, Simone Dos Santos, who is also a lawyer, was waiting on a traffic hearing when she stepped out in the hallway to breastfeed her child. Santos was covering herself with a jacket when two guards approached her and told her she had to stop.

"I was shocked, upset and angry that by providing food for my son, I was being treated like a criminal," she wrote in a blog post for the Washington Post.
