Woman charged with breast feeding while intoxicated
What's the big deal? I thought my baby would enjoy a Kahlua and cream.
APRIL 28–Stacey Anvarinia 26, is facing a child neglect charge for allegedly breast-feeding while drunk, according to court records. Anvarinia, a Grand Forks resident, yesterday pleaded not guilty to the criminal count, which stemmed from a police visit to her home in February. While responding to a domestic disturbance call, Grand Forks Police Department officers watched as an “extremely intoxicated” Anvarinia “began breast feeding her infant in front of us,” according to an incident report. Since alcohol can pass from mother to child via breast milk, Anvarinia was arrested for neglecting her six-week-old infant. The baby was transported to Altru Hospital for examination, while Anvarinia was booked into the county lockup.
Okay, so maybe she ran out of Hershey’s syrup. Although I’m not sure that a White Russian is the appropriate substitute. Oh, this poor child.–BEREZ
