It seems to me that this isn't about the child at all. The child is a tool in this battle for either party to get revenge for previous arguments in the custody battle.
I could be wrong about it, tho'!
I think a circumcision would be emotionally damaging for a child who is old enough to be self-aware, but not old enough to comprehend why the proceedure was done. That being said, he's not my kid, and mom has zero say in the matter.
You're probably correct.
Having been the object of a custody dispute, that is my interpretation as well.
when two grown ups make their son's circumcision or non circumcision a basis for a court battle ,,,,something is way wrong with them not the child. I feel for the kid.
I agree, it's not about the child, it's about two parents who aren't adult enough not to drag the child into their fight. This one fight is 2 1/2 years old and still going strong.
Isn't it interesting there's so much hoopla over circumcision and folks crying about letting the kid decide when he's an adult but there's never a peep over parents piercing their baby daughter's ears.
Agreed and not just in the custody battle--sounds like previous arguments in the marriage--good grief. Leave the little guy the way he is and get on with their lives!
