Dumbass Alert..

I think that this woman doesn't quite get it. Not only did she endanger her child and the people around her, she's also got some kind of persecution complex.

A woman who was charged with child endangering after breast-feeding her daughter while driving on the Ohio Turnpike claims the prosecutor has harassed her by piling on more charges against her.

Catherine Donkers, 29, who lives near Pittsburgh, was arrested May 8 and faces a court appearance in Ravenna on Aug. 6 on charges of failing to comply with a lawful order, obstructing official business, driving while under suspension, improper child restraint and child endangering.

Donkers has said she understood there was a risk in breast-feeding while driving, but she said using a cell phone behind the wheel was riskier.

Hmmm... A persecution complex and a case of moral relativism. Regardless of the relative merits of cell phone use, I think she's forgotten about the dangerous position she put her baby into (i.e. between her and the steering wheel).

Oh, and those extra charges? It seems that she had a little problem with stopping when the cops tried to pull her over.

The failure to comply charge alleged that she drove for three miles before stopping for troopers at a toll plaza southeast of Cleveland.

Dumbass.
