Yikes!
That is so ridiculous!
My mother just retired and moved to Tennessee- I'm glad that my  
children are past nursing age (11 & 13)- I can't imagine getting  
charged with public indecency for nursing a child over 12 months.   
Both of my children nursed WELL over 12 months of age!
So sad......
