WASHINGTON - A woman has filed a complaint with the D.C. Office of Human Rights after a security guard allegedly barred her from breast-feeding while waiting for a Department of Motor Vehicles hearing.
Simone Manigo-Truell dos Santos says she was at the Henry Daly Building in Northwest on Nov. 30 for a traffic ticket hearing with her 4 1/2-month-old son, Samuel.
Dos Santos says her son was hungry, so she went into a corridor empty of chairs, sat down on the floor and began to breast-feed him.
"I put on a pre-fold cloth diaper over my breast to shield my breast, and I had on my blouse, and a leather jacket, and a puffy jacket on top of that, and I began to nurse," dos Santos says.

Having a bowl movement is a human right also, but don't do it in public.

People like you are sad. You try to be clever but shoot yourself in the foot with your spelling. Stop trying.
Not to mention that there is a world of difference between breast feeding and having a BOWEL movement. Although in his case.... maybe that's what he was fed with.
I am a female and I get tired of seeing them just whip it out anywhere.Whatever happened to being discreet?
I think she was being discreet. She went to a place not many people where and she also used a diaper to cover her breast.
If the baby is hungry then feed him. It is better than listening to him cry for an hour because he needs to be fed.
