Stop Circumcision Now!!

Read Time:2 Minute, 0 Second

A 35-year-old mother was arrested for allegedly circumcising her 10-month-old daughter, police said. The LaGrange woman is currently being held in the Troup County jail without bond, Sgt. Chad Mann told the AJC. She faces female genital mutilation and child cruelty charges, Mann said.
“A relative changing the baby noticed that she appeared to be circumcised,” Mann said.
The AJC is not publishing the mother’s name to avoid identifying the infant.
The baby was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, where a doctor determined she had undergone some form of surgical removal of the clitoris, Mann said. The baby’s father was previously granted temporary custody, and he alerted authorities about the child’s injury, police said.

“She’s in perfect health, other than that,” Mann said.

The baby is in her father’s custody, police said. Authorities are not releasing details about a possible motive for the mutilation.

“Some of the areas of the investigation are sensitive,” Mann said.

The baby’s mother was arrested Wednesday afternoon. Her first court appearance is scheduled for Friday morning.

DFACS officials told Columbus, Ga., news channel WTVM9 that the woman also has three other children, but declined to say to release the location of them.

An estimated 100 to 140 million girls and women worldwide have been victims of female genital mutilation, according to the World Health Organization. Most of the procedures have occurred in Africa.  According to the WHO The procedure has no health benefits, and can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating.

From Teeluck…I am appalled, ashamed and so freaking angry that the innocent among us are treated in such macabre and inhumane ways that it actually hurts to write this article. This “Satanic” practice of circumcision, practiced on both male and female victims Globally, by the delirious people who believe in Satan and this Satanic practice in some freaky way…is truly disgusting and should be outlawed around the Globe. To these perpetrators, it does not matter the horrendous affects it has on the innocent victims and the awful life the females face as a direct consequence…it is truly a step backward for Mankind…religion shows it’s dark and evil face in this practice. Let us bring awareness to this evil practice so in some way we can begin to push back against it,,, for the sake of it’s helpless victims.

Many thanks to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution

Apparently there was a spate of that over here within a specific African immigrant community. Far as I know it was stopped. Bloody hope so anyroad!

No kidding. Those poor kids in Africa have so many horrible trials to endure- exorcisms, malaria, being orphaned by AIDS, being conscripted into child armies or sold into sex slavery. They flee to a country and bring their problems with them. Receiving countries need to put a very strong foot down and enforce laws against it.

Circumcision is often about religion, and many excuses (religion being the most often used) are given for its being necessary. But it is also being done, especially to baby boys of protestant families, “So they can look like their dad.” What kind of sick family flops their dicks out at a family gathering and compares foreskins I ask you?

Disgusting. All of it.

I think that family gathering foreskin flopping ritual is mostly confined to the southern states.

Yes. They have dick flopping “pilaus” here all the time. I have never attended for reasons that shall remain my own.

Agreed.This barbarism is an extreme example of male dominance, little better than acid attacks directed at women and also based on sexual control.

It’s not a cultural practice, it’s a barbaric and stupid practice. Lock her the fuck up.

But I disagree with it being called religion. It’s barbaric and stupid and evil.It’s no more religious than slavery or genocide is religious;both had religious adherents who may have used religion to justify their inhumanity but that is a human failing.

I agree with Bee as well, but take it one step further. It ought to stop for boys as well. Let it be an informed, anesthitized choice made later in life by a guy of legal age. Male circumcision is essentially unconsented for cosmetic surgery on infants. The same people who vehemently decry the practice for girls will blithely do the same for a son without a second thought. Unless there is a medical issue (peyronie’s comes to mind) it should not be an option.

You are definitely on the right track there Mother Hen, I read an article in New York papers recently where parents of a certain Jewish following were up in arms about how the “real” circumcisions were being conducted…by a priest using his mouth…WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT???

Some were complaining that it could by UNHYGENIC…YA THINK???
These crazy practices just gets to me…

Agreed. We saw something recently where…what, the association of pediatricians, or somebody here, was trying to find a “compromise” for parents who want their girls mutilated. Bullshit, we don’t do that here, period, and that’s the only compromise I’m willing to entertain. Frankly, the crazy bitch who did that to her infant needs to go to jail if she’s not crazy, or be institutionalized if she is. Either way, get her out of the equation, and get the reconstructive surgeons in.

A public service announcement that says “We don’t do this here. Do it, go to jail. Period.” needs to be circulated, when a pediatric group even feels the need to come up with some bullshit “compromise”.

Compromise in some cases is another word for death…what are they thinking?
