PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 3-month-old child was taken to a hospital in critical condition after his mother attempted to circumcise him, police said.

Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said officers arrived at a home at Northeast 127th Avenue and Burnside Street at about 2 a.m. Sunday to assist medics after a call of an injured child.

Police said they learned the mother had attempted to perform a medical procedure on the infant.

The child was taken to a hospital, Simpson said, and is expected to survive.

Detectives from the police bureau’s child abuse team and state officials are investigating.

No arrests have been made at this point, Simpson said.

Was she on meth?

On multiple levels.

is my guess.

Maybe they could get John Bobbitt's surgeon right quick.

Sonoman

with a DIY home circumcision? I would like to hear her excuse.

circumcision as an excuse.

don't people of the Jewish faith have Rabi's that do in home circumcisions? Also remember law's can not interfere with religious rituals and in some cases death is not enough for government to step in, the crazies that play with rattle snakes as proof they are chosen come to mind.

And they don't do them by themselves at 2 a.m.

Traditionally, it is done 8 days after the child is born.

:shrug:

Surgery is one of them.

That's why we have professionals called doctors.

Poor baby.

I hope that poor baby is okay and that his mother never lays a hand on him again. Clearly, she needs help, which should involve a tubal ligation. Just my opinion...
