美國一年輕母親當衆餵奶 遭必勝客服務員驅逐

An Ohio woman says a Pizza Hut employee asked her to leave the restaurant when she began breastfeeding her child at the table.

近日，俄亥俄州一位年輕母親聲稱，自己因在餐桌上給孩子餵奶而遭到一位必勝客服務員的驅逐。

Page Martin was dining at a Northwest Ohio Pizza Hut with her husband and 3-month-old son when she says her baby began to cry. Martin started to nurse her hungry infant in the dining room but she says a restaurant server rushed over and asked her to cover up.

當時佩奇·馬丁和丈夫帶着僅三個月大的兒子一同在俄亥俄州西北部的一家必勝客餐廳用餐，當時孩子開始大哭起來。馬丁隨即在餐廳當衆給孩子餵奶。不久一餐廳服務員急忙趕來，要求自己拿遮蔽物遮擋。

"I was approached by an employee there who asked me if I could cover myself up with a blanket and I said 'no it's my right because he won't eat with a blanket over his head,'" Martin told Cleveland's WTOL.

馬丁接受克利夫蘭的WTOL電視臺採訪時說道："那位服務員走到我面前詢問我是否可以蓋上毯子以作遮擋，我果斷拒絕了他的要求，我認爲這是我的權利，更何況在那種條件下孩子不會吃奶的。"

The young mother says she was wearing two shirts and tried to cover herself but that her infant does not like to be fed when covered. When she refused to cover up with a blanket, Martin says the Pizza Hut employee asked her to move to a less crowded area.

這位年輕母親表示，事實上她穿了兩件襯衫試圖遮擋自己，無奈孩子在頭部被遮擋的情況下不會進食。等到她拒絕服務員的要求之後，該服務員便讓她起身去人少的地方。

"She said 'well could I get you to move to a private booth because we have some parents here who don't want to expose their children to that,'" recalls Martin. Martin says she became increasingly embarrassed by the situation and told the employee that she could legally breastfeed her child in public. Ohio law states that "a mother is entitled to breast-feed her baby in any location of a place of public accommodation wherein the mother otherwise is permitted."

馬丁回憶道："那位服務員說帶我去一個較隱蔽的座位，因爲曾經有很多父母不想這樣公開暴露自己的孩子。"當時馬丁感覺非常尷尬，她告訴服務員在公開場合哺乳是合法的。俄亥俄州法規定"孩子的母親可以在任何公開場合進行哺乳，因此馬丁認爲自己這一舉動沒有任何問題。

The employee then said "'well I'll have to ask you to leave,'" according to reached out to the restaurant in Wauseon and received a written statement from its corporate office:

隨後，該員工說道："好吧，那麼我要求你離開這裏。”事後WTOL電視臺專門趕去沃西翁市的這家必勝客店進行採訪，同時還得到了來自其公司總部的一份書面聲明：

"Pizza Hut fully supports state law regarding a mother's right to breastfeed in our restaurants. While this customer was not asked to leave the restaurant, but rather offered another table with greater privacy, we deeply apologize that this situation in anyway upset her or if she felt mistreated. We will take this as an opportunity to further train our employees."

"基於俄亥俄州法律關於哺乳餵養的相關規定，本店完全支持並維護該母親在本店哺乳的相關權利。事實上，本店員工從未強行驅趕該顧客，只是出於對隱私方面的考慮，建議其移步到另一個較爲僻靜的餐桌。如果該位女士因此受到了任何困擾，我們深表歉意。今後我們會多加註意，並對本店員工進行進一步培訓。"

Martin insists that she was asked to leave the restaurant and hopes her story will prevent this type of thing happened to breastfeeding moms in the future.

但是，馬丁卻堅持稱該店服務員當時強行要求自己離開餐廳，並希望其他哺乳期的母親也引以爲戒，願此類事件不再發生。

"Stick up for yourself, stick up for your rights. I'm not just doing this for myself I'm doing this for all breastfeeding mothers," said Martin.

此外，馬丁還表示："我認爲我們要堅持自己，堅決維護自己應有的權利。這不僅僅是爲了我自己，更是爲了全天下所有哺乳期的媽媽們。"
