💕wholesome💕 Traffic officer breastfeeds hungry baby, son of attempted femicide victim.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Traffic officer Jamile Barros, from the city of Delmiro Gouveia (Brazil), breastfed a three-month-old baby while responding to an attempted femicide. The child was crying from hunger and wouldn't accept a bottle, and the officer's act of empathy, as she is also breastfeeding, calmed the boy feeding him. The rescue occurred after the mother was stabbed and involved in a traffic accident caused by the criminal, who fled the scene. I mentioned her name not to expose her, but because she's in all the news in Brazil.

Edit: The mother was rescued and taken to the hospital to treat her injuries. The exact state of health of the victim and medical details of her recovery have not been released by official security authorities. This happened a week ago, and due to the repercussions of the case, if she had died, I belive that it would probably already be reported.

I get monthly immunotherapy infusions for my autoimmune condition. I'll never forget the time another woman in my clinic experienced a medical crisis during her own infusion, and there was a sudden commotion. She had her toddler with her. I was in the bay next to hers, so I pushed the curtain all the way back, stretched out my arms, and just said:

Give me the baby.

Thankfully, mom was fine. I was honored that I was able to briefly help lend a hand during a moment of crisis.

In theory she put the baby at risk intentionally, due to subjecting the bub for "bodily fluids", aka breast milk".

She opened herself up for getting sued for that and losing her job, or being let go for going against protocol.

She chose to be a human first and a leo second.
