美國一年輕母親在博物館裏用母乳給孩子餵奶引爭議
Emily Locke, a 33-year-old mom from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, was taking photos for her sister's wedding at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio this past weekend when she had to take a break to breastfeed her 9-month-old son. In a Facebook post, she explains that she was soon approached by a staff member who told her, "You aren't allowed to do that here."
艾米莉·洛克是一名來自賓夕法尼亞州比弗福爾斯的33歲的媽媽。這週末她去俄亥俄州克里夫蘭的西儲地歷史學會參加她妹妹的婚禮，併爲其拍照，中途她不得不休息一下，給她9個月大的兒子餵奶。在她的臉書中，她寫道，沒過多久就有博物館的職員走過來給她說，“你不能在這兒餵奶”。"I responded that I was actually legally allowed to nurse my child," Locke wrote. "She said it was against the museum policy, and I had to stop. I refused, and she said she would have to get her manager. I said I would be happy to speak with her manager.
洛克在臉書上這樣寫道：我對那名職員說，“從法律上講，我有給孩子餵奶的權力”，我拒絕了那名職員。那名職員表示，這樣的話，我就得去找我們的經理了。我告訴她，我很樂意和他的經理說說此事。
Moments later, I was approached by a young woman. She said I would have to move, and they had a private area where I could 'do that.' I said I was fine where I was, and told her that legally I could nurse my child where ever I was permitted to be. (I wanted to be near where my family and other two children were posing for the pictures. I truly did not have time to stop the feeding and move to another location even if I wanted to.)"
不一會兒，一名年輕的女性走了過來。她告訴我，我必須換個地方，他們有一個私密的地方可以讓我來喂孩子。我對她說，我現在待的地方就很好，從法律上講，我可以在任何法律允許的地方餵我的孩子。（我想待在家人附近，而且我另外兩個孩子還在擺pose，拍照片。即使我想，我也真的沒有時間去停止哺乳，然後換到另外一個地方）。
Locke says the woman then told her that Society is a "family museum" - to which she responded that she was engaged in a "family moment." (#Boom.) "She then told me she was just trying to protect the innocent children," Locke recalled. "I was pretty shocked."
洛克表示，隨後，這名年輕女性經理告訴她，西儲地歷史學會是一個“家庭式”的博物館。對此，洛克迴應她說，我也正在享受“家庭時刻”。洛克回憶說道：“這名女性隨後表示，她只是試圖保護純真的孩子。我聽完後非常震驚。”The confrontation ended when the museum employee gave up, but left Locke feeling "disappointed and saddened." So, she shared her story on Facebook, and it has since racked up over 31,000 likes and more than 10,000 shares.
這次爭執隨着博物館僱員的放棄而結束，不過，這件事情讓洛克感覺到很失望，很傷心。所以，她把她的故事分享到了臉書上，並收到了31000個贊以及10000次分享。Locke's experience also grabbed the attention of the Historical Society's President And CEO Kelly Falcone-Hall, who issued the following statement in response:
洛克的經歷同樣引起西儲地歷史學會的主席、CEO凱莉·法爾科內的注意，並針對此事，發了如下聲明，"We were made aware that, last weekend, a breastfeeding mother was asked to move to a private space by members of our Cleveland History Center staff. This reflects poor judgment on our part, for which we are truly sorry. We have formally apologized to the mother, and are immediately implementing additional training for our entire team in order to ensure that an incident like this does not happen in the future. The Western Reserve Historical Society strives to be an inclusive, family-friendly organization that provides a welcoming environment for all our of patrons, including breastfeeding mothers. We did not live up to that goal in this instance."
“我們得知，一位正在餵奶的媽媽被我們的克利夫蘭歷史中心的一名員工要求換到更爲私密的地方，這反映了我們糟糕的判斷力，我們真誠地予以道歉。我們已經正式向那名媽媽道歉，並且爲了確保未來不會再次發生類似事件，我們已經立即對所有的員工進行了額外的培訓。西儲地歷史學會致力於成爲兼容幷蓄、給人以家庭式關愛的機構，爲包括哺乳媽媽在內的我們所有的顧客，提供友好舒適的環境。在此次事件中，我們未能做到這一點。”
