As the Detroit Free Press reports, a 32-year old mother was nursing her two-week-old son on a SMART bus when the bus driver ordered her to cover up or to get off the bus. Moon argues that the baby was in a football wrap and that not much was being exposed. She also refused to get off the bus until her child was finished breastfeeding. As a result, mall security officers boarded the bus at the next stop and began questioning Moon. Under state law concerning breastfeeding, Moon cannot be charged with public indecency. A law that, apparently, the bus driver was unaware of. The SMART authorities have said that they will remind drivers that breastfeeding is allowed on buses.
