The mother is hitting back at the judge.
Danielle Bell with her three month-old daughter Penelope. She says a judge threatened to put the infant in care after she breastfed her in court while waiting for a traffic case to be called
Danielle Bell says District Court Judge Resson Faircloth discriminated against her as she fed three month-old Penelope in the back of court while waiting for her traffic case to be called. But she cited both state and federal laws permitting women to breastfeed in public, and says Penelope was covered by a sling.
Bell said Judge Resson cited a law banning children under 12 from being in court, but other judges said this was to prevent older children from being exposed to potentially disturbing evidence : ‘He then replied to me that was not his problem and that, if I had any other excuse, he was going to take her that day and have me put in contempt.‘I definitely have fear of going back to the courthouse. I am worried about the consequences that will happen.
