Four years ago, a mom in Nottingham, England opened her son’s diaper to find him covered in blood and circumcised, something she had not given consent for. She has battled for four years for authorities to take action and now, three people have been arrested.
When the boy was three months old and staying with his paternal grandparents, they decided to have him circumcised per their religious beliefs.
“His mother originally contacted social services, then contacted Nottinghamshire Police on 24 November 2014. There was an investigation but the force deemed it not to be a criminal matter, and the case was referred to the General Medical Council.” 1

The mother, who believes the procedure amounts to MGM or “male genital mutilation,” is receiving help from a leading human rights lawyer- Saimo Chahal QC. After Chahal wrote a letter to the Nottinghamshire Police, they reopened the investigation and arrested three suspects, including the 61-year-old man (thought to be a doctor), on June 21st. (Two other suspects, a 44-year-old man, and 47-year-old woman, were arrested on “suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.”)
All three suspects had been released pending further investigation.

The single mom reports that her son has suffered from recurring infections, and his penis regularly becomes inflamed and sore:
“It looks like he’s been half circumcised is the only way to describe it. There’s half the skin, it’s not all the way over. It swells up, it gets red and a little bit sore in places.
If anything good can come of what’s happened to my son it’s raising a little bit more awareness to the suffering that comes, and giving people that are thinking of circumcising their children a bit of understanding about what they are doing.” 2
There are two sides to this issue. As always, although we might not all agree, as we discuss this topic we need to be respectful of one another’s thoughts and opinions.
