Indignante imagen: Mujer tuvo que amamantar de pie porque nadie quiso darle el asiento

Una joven madre se volvió viral en redes sociales porque le ocurrió una indignante situación en un tren de Inglaterra: nadie quiso cederle el asiento y tuvo que amamantar a su hijo de pie.

Kate Hitchens, de 32 años, soportó un largo viaje con su guagua en brazos mientras los pasajeros la miraban con incomodidad.

"¿A qué ha llegado el mundo que una madre tiene que ir parada en un tren mientras da pecho a su bebé de seis meses y de 9 kilos?", preguntó.

La mujer explicó que "el punto no es que lo encuentre difícil (aunque sí fue difícil), pero que ni una persona ofreció el puesto a una madre llevando un niño pequeño en media hora. Podría haberlo pedido, pero no lo hice. No debería preguntar por ello. Quizás algunas personas no me vieron, pero sé que algunas sí, me miraron y sonreían".

On my way home from London on a packed commuter train and this is what I faced. What has the world come to that a mother has to stand up on a moving train breast feeding a wriggling and writhing 6 month old, 20lb baby?! The point here isn't just that I found it difficult because I was nursing (although that was bloody difficult!), but that not one person offered a mother carrying a small child a seat for around half an hour, or 3 stops! I could have asked, but I didn't. I felt silly. I shouldn't have to ask. Maybe some people didn't see. I know for a fact some did; they made eye contact and actually smiled at me. I was thinking stop smiling and offer me your seat please! One lady looked up from her book and immediately offered me her seat, another lady then sat in it and when the lovely lady said 'Oh excuse me I actually gave up my seat so this lady with a baby could sit down' the sitting lady shrugged, plugged her earphones in and closed her eyes! I like to think that she needed that seat more than me, perhaps she was newly pregnant and in that early exhaustion period, perhaps she was knackered after a day at work, perhaps she was ill. Or perhaps she was just a twat. I hope not. I can somewhat understand not offering your seat to someone elderly; perhaps they might be offended you think they look old! I can understand not offering your seat to someone you suspect might be pregnant; maybe it's just their time of the month or perhaps they are just naturaly curvy and they aren't pregnant; perhaps you worry you might offend them. I cannot get my head around not offering a parent with a child a seat. Next time you see someone with a child on a train - if you're able bodied and fit and healthy please offer your seat to them!

La mujer concluyó su historia apelando a que "la próxima vez que veas a alguien con un niño en un tren, si no tienes problemas físicos y estás en forma y sano, por favor, ofrece tu asiento".
