McCullough was then told the manager had been monitoring the restaurant\u2019s security cameras. When she asked to speak with a manager, she said she was told the employee standing in front of her already held that title.<\/p>\n
The mother said she ultimately canceled her meal and asked for the check. The employee returned and said the owner would cover the bill \u2014 but the family would still have to leave, according to her social media post.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was extremely humiliating and demoralizing,\u201d she said in the video.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey ruined my family\u2019s first Father\u2019s Day,\u201d McCullough added. \u201cAnd they shamed a mother for trying to feed her baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
A woman named Katie, who identified herself as one of the restaurant\u2019s owners, denied the accusations in a TikTok<\/a> video response. \u201cTo be direct, Nowhere Bar does not prohibit breastfeeding. We have never asked anybody to stop breastfeeding. We have never asked anybody to leave because they were breastfeeding and that will never be our policy.\u201d<\/p>\n TikTok\/Nowhere BarCelina<\/p>\n \u201cMy hubby spoke to an attorney,\u201d McCullough explained in the comment section of her video, which has divided viewers online.<\/p>\n One TikTok user argued, \u201cI breastfed too but it should not be such an issue to cover up in public,\u201d while others defended McCullough.<\/p>\n One commenter wrote, \u201cAs a mom who literally breastfed on the State House steps 26 years ago to protect the right to breastfeed anywhere, please file a complaint with the state on this. We can not go backwards.\u201d<\/p>\n But beyond the heated online debate, state law offers a clear answer. Legally, McCullough appears to have been within her rights. Under Texas Health and Safety Code Section 165.002, mothers are entitled to breastfeed or express milk in any location where they\u2019re otherwise permitted to be, with no requirement to cover up.<\/p>\n This story Texas Mom Says Restaurant Kicked Out Family Over Breastfeeding on Father\u2019s Day<\/a> first appeared on Globe<\/a>.
