A mother is to go on trial for assault after allegedly using a box cutter and a pair of pliers to circumcise her three-month-old son.
Keemonta Peterson told police she had watched YouTube videos on how to carry out the surgical procedure.
The mother-of-four is alleged to have left her baby son bleeding for two hours before finally calling emergency services.
Peterson, 29, said she was inspired to carry out the DIY operation at her home in Portland, Oregon, after reading the Bible.
According to an arrest report Peterson began the operation at midnight using a box cutter knife as a scalpel and the pliers as a tourniquet.
When the bleeding would not stop on the botched operation she tried to stitch up the wound while her distressed 13 year old son watched.
After two hours of uncontrolled bleeding Peterson called paramedics.
Her son, who has not been named, was listed in critical condition but has since made a full recovery following the October incident.
Following her arrest Peterson told detectives she decided on the DIY circumcision as hospitals in Portland will not carry out the operation of boys older than four weeks.
Peterson was arrested last month and charged with first and second degree assault.

She should be shot, poor boy is mangled now.
“Oh yes it is male or female its mutilation plain and simple God dont make junk !!!!”
...yet He instituted circumcision.
“According to an arrest report Peterson began the operation at midnight using a box cutter knife as a scalpel and the pliers as a tourniquet.”
“When the bleeding would not stop on the botched operation she tried to stitch up the wound while her distressed 13 year old son watched.”
Those reporters in the UK sure do know how to write.
But it is a hugely profitable procedure.

“But it is a hugely profitable procedure.”
I understand the patients tip very well.
After sixty years, a Rabbi decides to retire. Taking the box of foreskins he has collected over the years of doing circumcisions, he goes to a leather goods manufacturer and says to the man, “Can you do anything with these?”
The man says, “No problem, come back in two weeks.”
After two weeks the rabbi returns to the shop, and is presented with a wallet. In total dismay, he says to the craftsman, “After sixty years, the best you can do is a wallet?”
The man replies, “Don’t worry, just rub it a few times and it will grow into a suitcase.”
“Keemonta”? “mother of four”?
I knew most of the story when I read the first name.
The rest was just filler. Expected, unfortunately.
And the Dad is... where?
I remembered that after I hit post
Not bad, but Rabbis do not perform circumcisions. Mohels perform a bris.
Also the FR spell checker can’t do Yiddish.
>>And the Dad is... where?<<
Prison.
She is a nothing but a freakin’ TCBEM savage. I wonder what other abuse she has seen fit to hurt her children with over the years? Good God...
Huh? I honestly don't understand what you are saying. But there's a HUGE difference between male circumcision that brutality that's sometimes called "female" circumcision.
There's simply no evidence that male circumcision does any long lasting harm. People can argue about it... but the evidence just isn't there. So-called "female circumcision" however, totally removes the clitoris. This removes any sexual stimulation from a female for the rest of her life. It is nothing more than mutilation and has clear and obvious effects on those that are subjected to it. People can argue about whether male circumcision is a good or bad idea, but in either case it doesn't appreciably change the act of sexual congress with a mate. Female circumcision permanently prevents sexual enjoyment. To compare the two is abjectly wrong.
I know all about Female mutilation Thank you
I used to work with a physician who many times successfully used a pair of side cutters (wire cutters) and a scalpel. Did a very neat job. No bleeding. We sterilized his tools along with the rest of the instruments.
Just had to be careful to not clip the head.
