Woman forced to squeeze her breast by an airport official

Woman forced to squeeze her breast

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,'.
