A man who performed an amateur circumcision on his four-year-old son on the floor of the family kitchen has been found guilty of criminal negligence.
The man, identified only as D.J.W. in a written B.C. Supreme Court ruling released this week, was found not guilty of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
Justice Marion Allan said D.J.W. ought to have known better, partly because a circumcision he earlier performed on himself led to bleeding, sutures and infection.
The fact that the accused had previously ineptly circumcised himself exacerbates, rather than minimizes, his awareness of the risks of home circumcision and his negligence, she noted.

That poor child will be scared for life. He needs a restraining order for his twisted father.
TRUE. Dear God what a mistake of a human that father is.
This is a CarMax “Not Smart” commercial just waiting to happen.
Inquiring minds wonder why the father’s name is withheld.
They received a tip?
Since they probably didn’t want the kid’s identity made public.

Talk about a DIY er!
It’s not the same guy who did the balloon hoax in Colorado, is it?
