A 10-minute clip of the incident, posted on YouTube Friday and later removed, reportedly showed the mother, Megan Christopherson, with her baby in a carrier being confronted by an officer at Sleep Train Amphitheatre.
In the video, the Chula Vista police officer removes the woman from the pit area and takes her outside. The officer can be seen telling Ms. Christopherson that she needed to leave the area for the safety of the child, a local ABC affiliate reported.
“Your child doesn’t have hearing protection on,” the officer can be heard saying. “The crowd is going to start surging forward. Where you’re at, your child can get crushed. So we’re afraid of your child getting crushed, and we’re afraid of your child’s eardrums being hurt, OK. That is borderline, probably, child endangerment.”

i saw this on facebook the other day. i couldn't believe that she thought it was a good idea to take a child (baby) of breastfeeding age to a concert! crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat is child endangerment ! Stupid woman/child Needs that child taken.
ReplyDeleteThe police absolutely did the right thing, she must be a child having children or didn't receive very good parenting training as a child.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that she thought it was ok to take a child to a concert is concerning.
ReplyDeleteVery stupid on her part - breastfeeding babies do not belong at a concert. This woman is definitely sitting on her brain.
ReplyDeleteLeave the baby home the next time with a babysitter.Stupid woman.Sounds like a future Stella award winner.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonder Brad didn't invite her to breastfeed at the Grand Old Opry,since he's inviting everyone else.
