A young mother today spoke of her embarrassment and anger at being stopped in the street by a Norfolk policeman because she had been breastfeeding her baby.
New mum Margaret Boyle-White had been to the post office in Watton high street with baby Naihm when the girl started crying. So she went outside, found a bench where it was relatively quiet, and gave her daughter a quick feed to comfort before making the long walk back to their home in Harris Road.
But they hadn't even left the town centre when a police car pulled up, a police officer got out, confronted Mrs Boyle-White, and told her they had received a complaint from a member of the public.
Although she had done nothing wrong, he implied that her behaviour had been unacceptable.
His actions left Mrs Boyle-White, a first-time mum, shocked and upset and it is only now, five months after the incident in June, that she has felt able to speak out in the hope that no other young mum will be humiliated in this way.
