A 33-year-old mum named Gayathiri
Boss who is currently breastfeeding her baby narrates how airport officials
forced her to squeeze her breast to prove she is actually a breastfeeding
mum. The lady flew from Singapore to Europe with her breast pump.
In any case, she says that when
she touched base at Frankfurt Airport, security staff seemed suspicious, asking
where her infant was whether it truly was a breast pump.
According to Ms Bose she was
taken into a side room by an authority and addressed concerning why her
youngsters, aged 3 and 7 months, weren't on the flight with her.
‘She asked me to open up my
blouse and show her my breast,’ she told the BBC. ‘She then asked how come I
didn’t have anything attached to my breast, if I was lactating and expressing
breastmilk,” said Ms Bose.
‘And I said, there is no such
thing that is [permanently] attached, we usually place the pump to our nipple
and the machine does the job.
'She wanted me to show her by
hand-expressing a bit.'
She did what she was asked in
light of the fact that she said she 'didn't know what might transpire on the
off chance that they chose to raise hell for me', and she expected to get on a connecting
flight to Paris.
In any case, she said the
experience was "humiliating" and left her in tears, and that she
would look for lawful guidance.
Christian Altenhofen, from the
government police unit at the airplane terminal, told the BBC he couldn't
remark on the particular episode.
In any case, he said these sorts
of tests for a breastfeeding mother are unmistakably excluded in standard
practice.
However he said 'On the off
chance that a speculated hazardous is recognized at an air wellbeing control
point, the things and the individual must be sought,'.
