BBC News: Mum opened nappy to find son had been circumcised

"A mother has described the distress of discovering her baby son had been circumcised without her consent.

The woman, from Nottingham, said she opened her son's nappy to find him covered in blood - and was so distraught she had to leave the room.

She has battled for four years for authorities to take action.

Three people have now been arrested, including a 61-year-old man - thought to be a doctor - on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent."
 
Some seriously messed up people. Not just the people who did this either, but people who think it's okay to circumcise someone without their consent.

Circumcision was promoted as a way of discouraging masturbation in the past, and was regarded as clean and hygienic

Most people do it for neither of the above reasons...they do it because everyone else does. I think circumcision became a "thing" for religious reasons, not medical. The medical aspect came later and is used to excuse the practice.

There is a thread already on this somewhere. It's amazing how many people are adamant about cutting off someone else's foreskin.

On it being illegal to "dock" dogs tails:

"There's something seriously not right with it all. You can protect a dog, you can protect a girl, but not a boy."

Agree with all the paragraphs, but especially the highlighted.

In support of the highlighted, the different rates in the US and the UK would suggest that it's cultural.

There was a programme on the radio that I heard... mumble years ago and one nonagenarian said that his earliest memory was of the pain of being circumcised, "far too old" at three.
 
I don't understand why no one was taking the issue seriously. Since when do the paternal grandparents have the right to make these decisions when the legal guardian is still the biological mother? They should have been charged from day 1.

Mayer was indeed Jewish (I looked it up), but to me, Mayer (Maier, Meier, Meyer) sounds like an ordinary German name; its meaning is a medieval position akin to steward. Apart from a very few (Levi, Cohn/Cohen) there are no typical Jewish names.

As to the OP: WTF is wrong with these people? It's bad enough there are people who think it's necessary to mutilate their own baby, but someone else's? I bet these grandparents have seen the last of their grandson. As to the "supposed doctor", I hope he loses his license. From the description, he's even botched the procedure. And WTF is wrong with all these people who don't take the mother's complaint seriously, that it's taken her four years to get this case going.

Yes let us all joke and pun about penises being undone so as not to offend sensitive religious ones...

Let us adopt moral relativity to the tips of little willies so as not to offend sensibilities.

Barbarism can so quickly joked and put aside as long as offence is never caused.

Pricks!

What if I told you that avoiding offense was the furthest thought from my mind?

Pricks!

You seem to have some problem with this topic, that has nothing to do with me.
 
If someone chopped bits off my child, I'm sorry to say that legal recourse would be my second course of action.

Oh yeah - my problem with this topic is that i cannot justify the mutilation of a persons genitalia based on some dreamt up entity,


OK? - By all means justify it.

I'm glad they were arrested. I hope the Doctor is struck off, and all three do jail time.

Circumcision of an infant should be illegal, period. It should be treated like what it is - child abuse.
