This  was  in  my newspaper today and towards the bottom of the
article  is a small blurb about "she is still nursing her seven
month old infant son".  The judge wanted to make an example out
of  her  so that children know it is wrong to cheat and lie, so
she was just sentanced to six months in prison.

What  a  sad situation.  Six months in prison and a seven month
old  who  is about to lose his mama and his comfort of nursing.
She  has  until  March  11  to  surrender  to begin serving her
sentence.   Hopefully  she  can gradually wean her baby between
now and then so it is less traumatic on her body and especially
on her son.

Even  the  prosecution team wasn't advocating for the jail time
and all were shocked at the severity of the sentence.

This  just  seems  so  sad  to  me today.  Isn't there any good
breastfeeding news out there?
