Heather Hironimus could escape jail if she appears before a judge on Tuesday with the child
The four-year-old boy's father, Dennis Nebus, testified he last saw his son on February 19 The parents, who never married, agreed to a circumcision in a legal document, but the mother changed her mind, opening a bitter legal battle
The father has previously said he believes circumcision is 'just the normal thing to do'
A woman who fled with her son while fighting to prevent his circumcision will face imprisonment if she doesn't return and allow the surgery to proceed, a judge ruled Friday.
In a stinging rebuke of the mother, Heather Hironimus, Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen said she had successfully dragged out a legal battle and was 'reprehensible' for going missing with the boy and for conduct that has put the 4-year-old in a public spotlight 'making him an object of curiosity and worse'.
He found her in contempt and demanded she appear in court on Tuesday with the child or he would command police to find her.
Did any of you read the article? It's not because she doesn't want her son to be "mutilated". It's because she legally agreed to it and then changed her mind and ran away with the child. Although I do agree jail is extreme.
welp. binding contract, bitch. she seems a bit unhinged. there are still other, legal, ways to stop it from happening. running away is never the solution.
The fact that some of yall associate being circumsized with genital mutilation is just sad. Please educate yourselves with what actual mutilation is please.

i mean...a contract really is kind of binding, but i really think this situation isn't fair. circumcision is a really sensitive and personal decision and i think parents have the right to change their minds about it.
maybe i just think this because i think circumcision is horrible, especially to a child as young as 4, but still
I swear you all have the reading comprehension of a potato. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FORESKIN. SHE TURNED BACK ON A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT, RAN AWAY WITH THE CHILD AND HASN'T RETURNED HIM YET.
