A Chula Vista, California woman who alleges she was asked to leave a Brad Paisley concert because she was breastfeeding her 4-month-old daughter, plans to file a lawsuit.

Part of the incident was recorded and posted on YouTube and the video has since gone viral.

The ten-minute clip shows mom Megan Christopherson being confronted by an officer and being removed from the pit area. "Your child doesn't have hearing protection on," the officer can be heard saying. "The crowd is going to start surging forward. Where you're at, your child can get crushed. So we're afraid of your child getting crushed, and we're afraid of your child's eardrums being hurt, OK. That is borderline, probably, child endangerment. You have two options, they can reseat you somewhere else, where you can be safe, or you can get a refund on your tickets."

"Do you know that the security guards asked me to stop breastfeeding my child?" Christopherson asks.

"This has nothing to do with the breastfeeding... I'm explaining to you, it's your child getting crushed with everyone getting pushed forward."

Christopherson remained insistent that another security guard (not on video) had asked her to stop breastfeeding and had even taken a photo of her while she was nursing her baby.

The Brad Paisley concert was apparently not the baby's first. Christopherson claimed she and her children had seen Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum perform at Sleep Train Amphitheatre a couple of weeks earlier, without event.

A witness nearby claims that Christopherson was singled out and believes a couple of young women who couldn't see Paisley from their vantage point called security. She said after Christopherson was removed, the women high-fived each other.

Does Megan Christopherson have a case? You be the judge.
