People keep claiming circumcision doesn't hurt. this kid screams in pain from it even if he's touched afterward. NSFW.

I always wonder what goes through a doctor's or nurse's mind when they tell a mother or a father that they're not allowed to see their child.

That's one of the most distressing things I've seen recently.

That's a human being. It's their son. He's screaming in pain when his penis is touched because it's been mutilated without his consent.

And for what?

To "protect him from HIV"? He's not going to catch HIV, he's a newborn baby.

To "protect him from STDs"? He's not going to catch those either. How could he?

I'm at a loss to imagine how anyone could hear their own baby squeaking in pain when touched because of something they did to him and not realise they'd done something terribly, terribly wrong. As a parent I hate to see any child in pain and automatically move to help, more so if it's my own child. I can't understand why these people lack that human reflex.

They keep repeating over and over how he is hurt and keep saying "sorry" over and over but it has this attitude like they don't even really care. They are just like "well, that's part of life, deal with it."

The "don't cry, little man" is pretty messed up too. Not even a week old and he's already getting signals that it's wrong to outwardly express pain or emotion. He's an infant that just got part of his penis cut off and you are messing with the bandages, of course he's going to cry you psychos. I bet she doesn't even realize she's doing it either, she's just going off of what she's been taught as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an infant girl crying the words coming from her mouth would instead be something like "It's okay, everything will be fine."

The video poster's story is pretty tragic if not rage-inducing. Basically her husband/mother-in-law would not give up on the idea of circumcising the kid.

"What if he needs to get one as an adult?" Then he can get one as an adult, IF he needs to, which the vast majority of people don't. What the fuck is wrong with people.

I'm so happy I insisted my son not get mutilated. I felt bad even watching that video and couldn't imagine putting my own son through that kind of pain.

Who cares, the male genitalia are disposable.

I was eight when I was circumcised. It was treated as a surgery, and I was knocked out for it. I had stitches that came out on their own. I am still not sure why my parents waited, or, did it at all...
