A newborn baby’s penis had to be fully amputated after a surgeon botched his circumcision.

DrewYetti · 2025-03-04T20:02:06+00:00

The poor child. 😢

H-4350 · 2025-03-04T20:02:58+00:00

What a nightmare. Poor kid.

Ok_Night_7767 · 2025-03-04T20:54:29+00:00

In the US, 80 percent of men 14 to 59 are circumcised. Complications from circumcisions are usually manageable, mild, and relatively rare.

The typical rate of complications after circumcision has been recorded in children of all ages. In a systematic review, this rate was found to be 1.5 percent globally, though rates vary by region. In the US, it's around two percent.

Umm, did I read that right? The second paragraph is saying that complications in the US, are higher than the global average!

HIGHER_FRAMES · 2025-03-04T20:07:39+00:00

Time to cash out. I would sue the living hell out of them. The emotional toll this child will have. SMH.

Imissyourgirlfriend2 · 2025-03-04T20:48:47+00:00

Again? Seriously?

Just do him a favor and keep people like John Money away from the poor kid. And definitely don't raise him to be a girl; that didn't work out so well the last time they tried it.

Vaping101 · 2025-03-04T20:45:33+00:00

Honestly, poor baby.

Vegetable_Ad1732 · 2025-03-04T20:10:45+00:00

Take a look at third world circumcision if you want lots of such nightmares.

VioletteToussaint · 2025-03-04T23:57:15+00:00

As a European, I've never understood this practice. Why do Americans inflict this to perfectly healthy babies who never consented to being cut?! >.<

alter_furz · 2025-03-04T20:08:27+00:00

so much for "enhances sex life" and "hygiene" and all that other baloney they say

dudeduck · 2025-03-05T00:44:00+00:00

Circumcision should be banned

gnarlin · 2025-03-04T21:35:54+00:00

bUt CiRcUmCiSiOn Is PeRfEcTlY SaFe!!! sO hEaLtHy!!!

Adventurous_Design73 · 2025-03-04T20:49:24+00:00

"botched" intentional damage is intentional

shadowguyver · 2025-03-04T22:55:31+00:00

In order to remove the entire clitoris, they would have to do a hysterectomy style surgery as over 90%of the clitoris is internal.

What is cut off is the glans clitoris which is the most sensitive and pleasurable part for women, for men it's the foreskin.

Type 4 FGC consist of procedure less invasive and severe than MGC, but they are still illegal even if for religion.

So, do we actually believe in real equality where everyone is given the same protections or do you think gender should define who is allowed protections?

FGC, MGC and IGC are all abhorrent and should never be done to any child not in need of immediate medical attention.

If you believe only girls deserve protections from non therapeutic genital cutting, then you're not better than those who don't care about women's rights.

EDIT: This was a response to another commenter, but still needs to be said.

Xitherax · 2025-03-04T22:26:56+00:00

Imagine how much more uproar there would be if it actually read: A newborn baby's vagina had to be fully sewn shut after a surgeon botched her labia reduction.

CuteSizzlin · 2025-03-04T21:07:03+00:00

Circumcisions outside of those medically necessary are child abuse, and I find it absolutely evil that any doctor would be willing to perform it on any child that doesn't need it done for medically necessary reasons. It's absolutely, objectively, and completely immoral and unethical and should be condemned with prejudice for the evil it is.

2ndharrybhole · 2025-03-04T21:45:14+00:00

I just got done reading the book about David Reimer, “As Nature Made Him” which is about the life of someone who endured a horribly botched circumcision as an infant, was raised as a girl until his late teens, and suffered terribly his whole life.

I wouldn’t wish it on my own child nor anyone else’s.

rhoo31313 · 2025-03-05T05:36:36+00:00

We need to do away with circumcision already.

Fit-Commission-2626 · 2025-03-04T20:54:56+00:00

if you think it is alright for a woman to prefer circumcised men or even reject a man because he did not have this surgery performed on him and go through this human rights abuse as some of you told me you are anti male and i do not care what their preference is this is wrong and they are wrong.

Nerfixion · 2025-03-04T21:42:44+00:00

It's a shame this child had/has/will suffer to teach a lesson. What am I saying the parents won't feel guilt and say they did what was right

Wilddog73 · 2025-03-04T23:37:38+00:00

That poor, poor boy.

ky420 · 2025-03-05T02:00:46+00:00

Horrible poor child life messed up forever because of an unnecessary and harmful procedure that they had no say in. What do you even do at that point as these people. Raise the child as a boy, girl, how do you give them a life after u basically ruined theirs for nothing

Jackson2615 · 2025-03-05T04:33:12+00:00

I just cant believe ( or accept) that in 2025 babies are having perfectly healthy and normal penis' circumcised. Why isn't it illegal except in exceptional medical circumstances??

Lorenz99 · 2025-03-04T22:15:02+00:00

It's also been medically proven that after circumcision infants brain firing patterns change permanently due to the traumatic experience of pain. Hint: they don't numb the area first because doctors go with the lie that the nerves aren't formed yet at that early of an age... So you basically change everything about your son after circumcision. The decision of circumcision needs to be removed from the parents/doctors and given to the children when they come of age to be able to make those decisions.

Wittehbawx · 2025-03-04T21:40:49+00:00

i went through something similar but they were able to save mine.

omegaphallic · 2025-03-04T22:38:19+00:00

Nothing less then prison for this "doctor" I hope.

P3NDRA60N · 2025-03-04T23:13:59+00:00

I pray for a day that infant circumcisors receive life in prison or the death penalty. I truly believe that there would be peace on earth and goodwill towards man IF every single non medical child curcumciser was executed. Non-circumcising cultures are less violent and less war prone. Religion should not be a shield for mutilators. Religious mutilators should also be executed without prejudice. EVERY SINGLE CHILD MUTILATOR SHOULD BE EXECUTED FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

EasePemex · 2025-03-05T09:47:12+00:00

Circumcision is NOT needed for children or adults. Its a cruel practice that takes away from a mans sexual pleasure.

RaiJolt2 · 2025-03-04T21:55:11+00:00

I hope the surgeon looses their license

Aspiring_Mutant · 2025-03-04T23:01:09+00:00

Circumcision is an abomination. The sooner we end it, the better.

jpowell180 · 2025-03-05T02:55:58+00:00

There’s absolutely no medical need for circumcision.

mr_t_pot · 2025-03-05T00:42:03+00:00

This is all forms of appalling. 😠

UnicornQueenFaye · 2025-03-05T04:03:33+00:00

If I ever for a second doubted leaving my son intact. This absolutely confirmed I made the correct decision.

DananSan · 2025-03-05T08:38:43+00:00

Such a huge part of life ruined over an unnecessary procedure. His idiot parents couldn’t wait to fail him.

Thonolan · 2025-03-05T11:22:53+00:00

Just ban circumcision already

YNiekAC · 2025-03-05T15:00:44+00:00

This is child abuse. Parents should be put in jail and doctor should be suspended

instantwins24 · 2025-03-04T20:53:57+00:00

Give him the Emperor’s Mercy.

ofyellow · 2025-03-04T20:10:34+00:00

But it's hygienic.

TempleFugit · 2025-03-04T21:10:21+00:00

Jesus wept.

Notcreative345 · 2025-03-05T02:43:37+00:00

Incoming suicide it it’s ok because nobody cares about men

Due-Struggle-9492 · 2025-03-05T00:04:12+00:00

And this type of stuff is why I’m against the procedure as a universal and widespread practice and hate those who think it’s weird to advocate against it. It’s the most sensitive organ on the human body and our society is always shouting about choice, where’s this man’s choice? Do the parents even look into matters and actually do something with the education they do have?

Goats_vs_Aliens · 2025-03-05T01:08:42+00:00

Couldn't they reattach it? They are surgeons after all.

DrJ0911 · 2025-03-05T04:10:52+00:00

Just don’t use the surgeon that botched leons penis job.

tttulio · 2025-03-05T12:03:30+00:00

This is how the whole gender theory started with the accidental amputation during circumcision of David Reimer and subsequent gender reassignment by Dr John Money who went on writing books saying how successful bringing up this boy as a girl was when in reality it was a complete failure. https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/david-reimer-and-john-money-gender-reassignment-controversy-johnjoan-case

DS_9 · 2025-03-05T07:41:07+00:00

Done in East Africa. Methods done here not used in the US or where 99% of redditors live.

This isn’t an argument for circumcision, but we should consider the context.

southass · 2025-03-05T15:09:13+00:00

This is just terrible.

Divinity-_- · 2025-03-05T19:04:13+00:00

I had to get circumcised for medical reasons. That is the only context in which this stupid surgery should happen. This kids' life is gonna be unnecessarily complicated and mentally messed up. They deserve huge compensation

2025-03-06T03:03:10+00:00

This boy is going to grow up having a terrible life because of a stupid procedure we do in the United States. If I have a son we won’t be doing this.

Maybe I’ll just have all daughters lol.

MilkyWayler · 2025-03-06T03:51:41+00:00

Poor kid, his life ended before it even began

K4ntgr4y · 2025-03-04T21:20:31+00:00

Let's raise him as a woman! /s

Joke aside, this is terrible... :(

SouthwestTraveller · 2025-03-04T23:59:04+00:00

Jesus Christ, that is fucking horrifying. Poor kid 😔

feeblelegaleagle · 2025-03-05T02:50:02+00:00

My god. So horrible. Poor guy.

No-Feedback7437 · 2025-03-05T06:10:40+00:00

Sad tragedy

NumerousStruggle4488 · 2025-03-05T06:50:40+00:00

Another victim of religion :(

definesocial · 2025-03-05T11:30:51+00:00

Should the surgeon be held accountable?

domonanon · 2025-03-05T21:01:58+00:00

Seriously what kind of fucked up country allows this to happen to babies every year

Shreddersaurusrex · 2025-03-06T01:22:43+00:00

At minimum $2 billion in damages BEFORE lawyer fees.

Ok-Dependent-367 · 2025-03-06T10:32:44+00:00

Why do they even do circumcision?

Just_an_user_160 · 2025-03-10T19:11:55+00:00

That "doctor" and his parents ruined the poor child's development and adult sex life forever

Environmental_Oil_45 · 2025-03-04T20:05:29+00:00

Pretty sure even feminists are against circumcisions.

This is just pure theological bullshit being pushed onto society as a "health benefit"

beast_status · 2025-03-04T21:27:28+00:00

Why is a surgeon doing a circumcision? Sounds like more to the story than reported.

Lustfullynx · 2025-03-05T08:22:38+00:00

This story is on the dailymail and nowhere else. It's fake.
