I do think this issue needs proper discussion and not just being shot down by people who cite genuine examples for medically necessary circumcision, or that it didn't affect them/their friend etc...... if it's not needed medically then it should be a choice, and a choice made by the person themselves
Just because it's sometimes necessary doesn't mean it's always justifiable.
In any case, even if the guy who did it is a doctor, he's totally failed in his responsibilities by not seeking the parents' consent, and thus he's culpable anyway (and should be struck off if he's a real doctor).
Reminds me of the time when my friend left her toddler daughter with her grandparents for a day and the kid was returned with a fringe!! I shudder from the memory.
Kid left with grand parents
Grand parents get kid circumcised without parental consent
Mother (rightly) furious.
how would this be treated if it was a hand or a foot etc. That it's not considered GBH is quite frankly abhorrent.
In my opinion only genuine medical reasons should be considered. Religious regions can fuck off.
Like FGM, it is an evil practice with no place in the modern world.
There are certainly situations that circumcision is required medicaly, but this is not one of them. I am somewhat to the right of Mr Dawkins when it comes to religion - an out-dated philosophy of how the world around us works - but religiously motivated body 'adjustment' to those unable to comprehend/vocalise consent is nothing short of abhorrent. Whether there was parental consent or not.
In this case, and apologies if I missed it in the article, there was no mention of the father. It is, therefore, possible that the father was present and *did* give consent, which would have made this legal, if not morally comfortable.

Ban it all right now.
I wonder how many grandparents would see jail time if they cut off his little finger, or pulled out all his fingernails.
Monsters that need to be put away.
Seriously the grandparents should be prevented from having any contact with any children, it's a safegaurding issue at the minimum.
Would it be possible to subject the grandfather to a reverse circumcision??
take a skin graft from say...... his scalp and surgically attach it to his knob.
