A young mother has spoken of her fury today after she was accused of 'indecent exposure' and thrown off a bus - for breastfeeding her hungry six-week-old daughter.

Amy Wootten, 25, was travelling home in Bristol when she started feeding Emily.

But then, without warning, the driver stopped the packed bus and told her to get off. Despite it pouring with rain, he threatened to call the police if she didn’t get off at the next stop.

She said: ‘The bus driver told me someone had said I was indecently exposing myself and said stop or get off my bus.

‘It was like he was suggesting I was doing horrendous things. But I was being quite discreet about it.
