MISHAWAKA, Ind. — A Texas mother claims that a Hollister store manager kicked her out of the store for breastfeeding. The mother claims she was not exposed.

One mother ABC57caught up with University Park Mall who participated in the demonstration said it is absurd for a mother be told that she cannot breast feed in public.
