will he be dfd?
will there be any action from the WTS.?
I hope he spends a very long time in jail.
He will learn that crims have their own code about those who do horrible things to kids.

And, another instance of botched circumcision, this time in Manchester UK.
A family of Nigerian Christians, where it is said, Christians routinely circumcise their babies, employed a nurse to perform the circumcision at their home. Uncontrolled bleeding occurred and the boy died.
Tragic consequences from listening to Biblical myth.

As I asked previously, how many young boys have had their lives ruined by this barbaric, primitive practise?

The group C.H.I.L.D (Children's Healthcare is a Legal Duty) did a story (below) in a 2011 newsletter about circumcision. This is a great charity. It's worth a read.

Another baby dies in circumcision ritual; will ultra-Orthodox change?
A two-week-old New York City infant died in September of herpes caused by “ritual circumcision with oral suction.” The death did not come to light until March, 2012, in a New York Daily News investigation.
Oral suction is practiced in ultra-Orthodox and, to a lesser extent, in Orthodox Jewish communities. The mohel (the person performing the circumcision) removes the foreskin of the penis and then sucks the blood from the wound to clean it.
Inherent risks for infants
City health officials have criticized the practice, saying that having the mohel’s mouth in contact with the open wound carries “inherent risks” for the infant. The Rabbinical Council of America has a resolution against it.
In 2003 and 2004 three infants contracted her- pes linked to the oral suction ritual performed by Rabbi Yitzchok Fischer. One of the infants died.
Little cooperation with district attorney
The Brooklyn District Attorney, Charles Hynes, tried to investigate the deaths, but received little cooperation from the Orthodox community. Fischer was later prohibited from performing the ritual in New York City.
In 2012 Hynes is again trying to investigate. Reportedly, the dead boy’s parents are stonewalling investigators and are related to the mohel who per- formed the ritual.
Sacred ritual is unregulated surgery
Circumcision is a sacred ritual in all branches of Judaism. The patriarch Abraham circumcised himself, and circumcision gives the baby “the mark of the covenant” between God and Abraham.
It is also, however, surgery. States have enac- ted exemptions from medical licensure for those performing ritual circumcision.

The American Board of Ritual Circumcision, a private group, says that it has high standards for certifying mohelim both in medical skills and ritual practice. It’s “the parents’ fault,” a board spokes- man said, if they choose a mohel who just prints a business card and calls himself a mohel. The board has certified mohels in only a few states. Other sources say “certification” by various non- governmental organizations does not necessarily guarantee good skills. See, for example, www.cybermintz.com:9080/certification.
Circumcision can be both safe and sacred
Rabbi Avi Billet has many recommendations for safe circumcision at his webpage, www.mohelinsouthflorida.com. He castigates as “arrogant” and “stupid” mohels who “think they know better” than experienced teachers or think theirsistheonlykosherwaytocircumcise. A pediatrician friend and a medical nurse have told him of botched circumcisions by mohels.
Many Jewish leaders oppose state regulation of a religious procedure. Agudath Israel of America opposes required testing of mohelim for infectious diseases and a ban on oral suction. “Word of mouth is the best regulatory system,” a spokesman for Agudath Israel said.
“We will not change.”
In 2005 New York City Mayor Michael Bloom- berg assembled city rabbis to try to persuade them to stop the ritual of oral suction. The rabbis, how- ever, said it was safe and could not be proved to cause herpes. “The Orthodox Jewish community will continue the practice that has been practiced for over 5,000 years,” Rabbi David Niederman of the United Jewish Organization in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, said at the time. “We do not change. And we will not change.”
Mayor: religious liberty has limits
On March 6, 2012, however, Mayor Bloomberg spoke out about the medical examiner’s report on the most recent infant death. “There is probably no- body in public life who fights harder for the separa- tion of church and state than I do, but I just wanted to remind everybody: religious liberty simply does not extend to injuring others or putting children at risk,” he said.

As much as I love bad media about JWs this isnt a regular JW issue, this guy is even more of a nut-job than the usual stupid dubs.
But - it does show that being a JW doesn't prevent you from being a stupid idiot, or criminally negligent, or make you a good parent, or even a Christian. For all the WTS claiming that being associated with JWs makes you somehow above the 'world' and it's problems, it's apparent by all the dumb shit you read about JWs in the news, that the opposite is true.

The God of Abraham is nuts, and it rubbs off on those that try to follow him. So many JWs take the written word to the extreme. They watch the Society do it, and they do it. They are fanatics. I'd call them mentally diseased, but that wouldn't be fair. LOL.
