Mississippi – A 76-year-old woman has created controversy yesterday,
by breastfeeding her 42-year-old son in the middle of a KFC restaurant.
Many customers of the fast food joint would of complained about the
incident and prompted Linda Berrety and her son, Michael, to leave the
establishment. Both finally got expelled.

This unusual episode has sparked strong reactions on social medias
and provoked a huge debate on the limits of breastfeeding in public
places, while many customers present at the time of the event seem to
have seen a gesture of sexual nature and 1ncest, rather than a gesture
of maternal concern.

“What in God’s name was that?” claims Ali Belfouz, a customer who
witnessed the whole scene. “I have nothing against breastfeeding, but
that was pure nonsense. I felt like if I was watching some fetish type
of porno. You have to be insane to breastfeed your child at that age.
They should of got arrested for gross indecency rather then getting
expelled.”

“It’s my right as a mother to breastfeed my child,” says Mrs.
Berrety. “If people don’t agree with the way I raise my son, that’s
their problem. I have raised a great man, beautiful, tall, who still
lives and stays with me.

I think I’ve done a great job as a mother and
don’t appreciate getting insulted and expelled just because I decided to
breastfeed my child a little longer than other mothers.”In front of the controversy sparked by the incident, KFC spokesperson
Jocelyn Binoy quickly reacted and apologized to Mrs. Berrety and her
son, and promises to condemn the decision of the manager to expel them.

The chances of winning of the 76-year-old woman would be pretty
excellent, according to many legal experts. Since 1976, the United
States Bill of Rights prevents all discrimination against women
breastfeeding in public, that at many occasions, merchants were
condemned to pay important fines to women who were asked to stop
breastfeeding or expelled for doing so.
