» The Infruriating Story Behind This Mom Who Was Nearly Arrested For Breastfeeding in Public
In Columbus, Georgia, one mom had a traumatic interaction with a police officer when he threatened to arrest her for breastfeeding her child inside a Piggly Wiggly supermarket. Her incensed retelling of the story, shown above, has since gone viral.
On Facebook, Savvy Shukla explained she was grocery shopping with her two children when she needed to breastfeed her youngest child who is 1 month old. It was then that the police officer approached her and asked her to cover up as some people might find it offensive.
Even though Savvy expressed is was legal for her to breastfeed her baby in public, the officer told her that was not the case. According to Savvy, he said, "You just think you know what the law says." He added, "If your nipple becomes exposed, I really don't want to have to arrest you or you be arrested for being offensive."
Since the incident, Savvy has reported it to the management at Piggly Wiggly and has spoken to several outlets in an effort to end the shame surrounding breastfeeding. Coincidentally, a paralegal shopping at the same supermarket witnessed Savvy's experience and has since offered to help her by corroborating her story in a separate Facebook post, also included above.
