KETTERING, Ohio — Police in Ohio say a woman has been charged with child endangering after another motorist reported she was both breast-feeding a youngster and talking on a phone while driving.

Police in the Dayton suburb of Kettering say the caller told them he saw the woman Thursday.

Officer Michael Burke says authorities used a license plate number to track down 39-year-old Genine Compton.

He said the woman told officers she was breast-feeding and wouldn't let her child go hungry.

Burke said the legal concern is that Compton had a child in her lap while driving, not that she was breast-feeding in public.

He said the child was under 2 years old.

Police say the woman faces up to 180 days in jail and a $1,800 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor.

OMG! I agree, don't let your child go hungry - pull into a parking lot you idiot!

Where was she driving to, that the child couldn't wait until they arrived at their destination? Dumb broad, she's endangering her child's life because she's too stupid to pull over or wait until they get where they're going!

OMG! I agree, don't let your child go hungry - pull into a parking lot you idiot!

That would be the normal thing to do.

That ridiculous.

Pretty stupid on a couple of fronts:

A. She did it.
B. She admitted doing it.

She is too dumb to reproduce further.

I rest my case.

One would think that the potential harm caused by being hungry for a few minutes would be vastly outweighed by the potential harm caused by using said baby as an airbag.

You'd think.

She is too dumb to reproduce further.

But she probably will with our luck.

Wow. Taking multitasking a little far, aren't we mom?

OK, her bizarre reason for breast feeding while at the wheel aside, I'm (horrified) curious to know what was her excuse for the phone call at the same time. Really, I have to know, because I'm fascinated by how looney the whole event was and I need to know how the brain works on a person like this.

She's definitely too stupid to raise this kid, though. Is it me, or are these acts of extreme stupidity increasing?
