It's not my "view" that breastfeeding in public in SC is legal--it's the LAW. The quote that you posted about South Carolina law was WRONG. That's not my opinion--it's fact.

Sure, we know that it´s legal to have public breastfeeding in America
That's not what you posted the first time.

You posted: "In some areas in the south (i.e. South Carolina) one can be arrested for indecent exposure "


Quote:
but Christina stated that breastbreeding for age 1 year old consider to be "sex abuse".
We already know that Christina was wrong about the SC law but you still trust what she says about this, too?


Quote:
I do not accuse anything but question you about the age limit since Christina mentioned "age of 1 year".
I've searched and searched, and I can't find any cases in South Carolina where, "Child Protective Services will take a child away from the mother who breastfeeds beyond the age of 1 year, presumably for 'sexual abuse' reasons."
I checked the local news sources, the SC LaLeche League ( LLLofSC ), SC Breastfeeding Action Committee ( SCBAC.ORG - South Carolina Breastfeeding Action Committee ), and the web search engines.

BTW, in South Carolina "Child Protective Services" is called DSS (Department of Social Services), so I suspect this Christina doesn't know what she's talking about. Oh, and I checked the SC DSS site also.

It's possible someone might try to accuse a mom of sex abuse through nursing during a messy divorce or some other dispute just to make trouble. But I can't find any reports of it happening in SC. If you have such a report, I would like to know about it so I can find out what happened.
