Madonna outraged over breastfeeding clip

Madonna has demanded higher standards of decency on TV after a US station broadcast footage of a mother breast-feeding her eight-year-old son.

The singer, who is famed for her controversial sex-and-violence-laced videos, said she was outraged that the image was shown to millions of viewers on ABC’s Good Morning America show.

“People have no morals, I swear to God,” she told Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM.

“The things that people do for ratings. It’s unforgivable.”

Lynn Stuckey, from Urbana, Illinois, gained notoriety after ABC ran the tape of her nursing the boy in July.

She told the programme: “I think people need to see me and my child and realise this is a perfectly normal practice.”

A judge has since ordered child welfare officials to investigate whether the 34-year-old, who also allowed her son to share her bed, has created a harmful home environment.

Authorities told a hearing in October that the child had been ridiculed since he appeared on TV. Stuckey said she stopped breast feeding him in the summer.

Mother-of-two Madonna, 44, said ABC should never have aired the footage.

“The world is collapsing. Why is there a tape of it? It’s terrible. That child will never recover.”

Good Morning America said it would welcome Madonna on the show to discuss the issue.
