Update 2: Mom fighting son’s circumcision in federal court today

Mom fighting son's circumcision in federal court
Woman files federal suit to block son’s circumcision
Update: Mom in circumcision battle in custody
quote:
A media frenzy is expected to accompany this afternoon’s hearing in federal court where attorneys representing a 31-year-old Boynton Beach woman will ask a judge to block any attempt to have her 4 1/2-year-old son circumcised.
Attorneys representing Heather Hironimus will ask Marra to stop Dennis Nebus, of Boca Raton, from having their son, Chase, circumcised, claiming it will cause irreparable harm and violate the boy’s constitutional rights.
The motion was filed Friday, a day after Hironimus was arrested in Broward County on an order from Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen. He ordered her arrest in March after she failed to appear in court with Chase to turn the boy over to his father.
quote:
In 2012, Hironimus consented to the circumcision as part of a parenting plan between her and Nebus. But she later changed her mind. Gillen said she was bound by the agreement. The 4th District Court of Appeal upheld the decision without comment.
The case has attracted the attention of “intactivists” throughout the country who believe circumcision is barbaric and causes deep psychological wounds. Driven by social media, they have rallied behind Hironimus and protested Gillen’s rulings.
In recent federal court filings, Hunker says that the operation is medically unnecessary and would endanger Chase’s life because he does not respond well to anesthesia. Further, he claims, the operation could permanently damage the boy’s genitals.
“He is also prone to keloid scars such that the procedure may adversely affect the normal functioning of his genitals in a way that it would not affect others,” Hunker wrote.
Attorneys representing Nebus counter that medical experts recommend circumcision for boys to reduce the risk of cancer and other health maladies. The location of the boy is unknown.

If she drags this out long enough the kid will be old enough to make his own choice!

They should also point out that he is more likely to have it sucked on later in life if he is circumcised

sometimes as soon as the actual mystical voodoo ceremonial cutting occurs itself
lets keep on doing this!
quote:
The process has the mohel place his mouth directly on the circumcision wound to draw blood away from the cut. It has been documented that the practice poses a serious risk of spreading herpes to the infant. Proponents maintain that there is no conclusive evidence that links herpes to Metzitza,and that attempts to limit this practice infringe on religious freedom

good thing i was there to keep my son intact. if i wasn't there to watch out for him, who would have?

The mom should be punished for ignoring the previous orders, maybe even with custody going to the dad.
But 4.5 is too old for that procedure. He'll remember it, and the pain.

Not actually knowing how it feels otherwise notwithstanding, I'm glad that I was circumcised and wouldn't want it any other way. I sure as hell don't feel victimized.

Probably. I don't see how a normal person would want to sentence their son to a lifetime of an ugly dick.

Amen brother.
A little snip when you're an infant that you will have no memory of, is well worth not living with an ant eater in your trousers for the rest of your life.

Think of the large amount of money this woman is spending just to avoid something as ridiculous as this. This kid will never remember having the procedure, and will have no long term effects on the baby.

I could see why she would have issues with the shape of a circumcised penis head.

why not just cut off his pinkies and earlobes at the same time?
he won't miss those either and he'll remember nothing

eta one thing i've learned about the OT..dont DARE ask them to do a little soul-searching about their own coveted penises. might raise uncomfortable questions they aren't prepared to think about.
