On what grounds can you force consent?! This is grotesque and just wrong! I stand with this girl and this newborn who cannot fight evil beings to stop this genital mutilation. It's obvious that you know nothing about anatomy nor care to educate yourselves. It's sad that you lack basic ethics and education. Stop! People who force things like this are not Americans and are what is wrong with the world!

This is outrageous and I sincerely hope each individual and institution involved is prosecuted and civilly sued. Absolutely appalling and unfathomable!

Forced circumcision is abuse. The state of Alabama has infringed on every constitutional and parental right of this young mother and her son and needs to be stopped. Actions like this from government agencies are a huge contribution to the civil unrest seen in the United States right now and those involved perpetuating or sitting back and not putting a stop to it should be ashamed.

A newborn absolutely should not be circumcised against the will of his mother. Transparency and oversight is needed in this very disturbing and confusing case.

Why is America so obsessed with altering baby boy's genitals? I'm from Canada and circumcision is unheard of here. Get with the program America.

This poor girl has been through enough, and so has her brother. Witnessing a close sibling go through something horrible this can be worse than experiencing it oneself, and the bond between twins is extreme. And that poor baby. He may not remember this when he's older, but there's no way it won't impact him. Alabama needs to stop being stupid and just let these innocent folks alone.

Stop State sanctioned kidnapping through CPS. Return Braelon to his mother, there is no reason to be circumcising this infant, it is a cosmetic surgery and should be decided by the mother! She wants him to be left intact. There are negative risks to this procedure that could affect the boy forever in the future and the mother is doing the right thing by having choosen to keep her baby's foreskin intact.

I don't know everything about this case, but I will say that I believe there is some wrongdoing going on and this needs to be stopped. Having dealt with DHR in tAlabama, I can say that not all the workers are bad people. I even made some friends from DHR. Most of them truly care about the kids and families, but a case like this is an embarrassment to not only DHR, but Alabama as a whole. This needs to be righted!!

This is purely unConstitutional. Parents have rights with their children and the government does not. Alabama DHS, CPS or whatever else they may be called, along with any judge supporting this, should be investigated and held accountable.

This child is healthy and safe, as well as effectively breastfeeding. Circumcision is harmful and cosmetic and also against the mothers wishes.

This young mother and her baby need to be free and able to live with grandparents. It breaks my heart that she was punished for being raped. The state of Alabama should be ashamed her their selves for holding her and this precious baby as prisioners where she has no rights.

No need for this...this is disgusting! Here in the UK, circumcision is virtually unheard of, it's completely unnecessary.
