Leave The Circumcisions for the Mohel

Reported:

Baby Injured During At-Home Circumcision
Infant Expected To Survive, Officers Say


PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 3-month-old child was taken to a hospital in critical condition after his mother attempted to circumcise him at home, police said.

Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said officers arrived at a home at Northeast 127th Avenue and Burnside Street at about 2 a.m. Sunday to assist medics after a call of an injured child.

Police said they learned the mother had attempted to perform a medical procedure on the infant.

The child was taken to a hospital, Simpson said, and is expected to survive.

I just hope this wasn't a Jewish family.

a) it's done at 8 days;

b) it isn't done by a woman;

c) it is done by a mohel.
