Mother: Park Snubbed Me For Breast-Feeding

POSTED: 4:01 pm MDT June 28, 2005

A woman claims she was treated rudely by park employees while breastfeeding 
her baby.

It happened at a company outing in May at Cliff's Amusement Park.

She claims a manager told her she was exposing herself and said people were 
complaining. He said she needed to cover up with a blanket, go to the 
restroom to feed the child, or leave the park.
Hi all,
I was shocked to read this article on the Albuquerque, NM, news website this 
am. I'm writing a letter and asking others too. I thought this group would 
be interested.

A woman claims she was treated rudely by park employees while breastfeeding 
her baby.

It happened at a company outing in May at Cliff's Amusement Park.

She claims a manager told her she was exposing herself and said people were 
complaining. He said she needed to cover up with a blanket, go to the 
restroom to feed the child, or leave the park.

Park managers admit the incident happened, but not exactly as it was 
portrayed.

Linda Hays is the general manager of Cliff's. She said that the park manager 
did ask the woman to cover herself or go to a more private location such as 
a rest room, but she claims the woman refused his suggestions.

A state law indicates she had a right to do what she was doing, and Hays 
said that may be the case, but the park has a responsibility to others.

"We're family friendly we've had women breastfeeding for over 45 years," 
Hays said. "We've never had a problem because most women will breast feed 
their babies appropriately (by) covering themselves.

So far, Hays said the park has received one call complaining about the 
policy.
