As a pediatrician, I’m mandated by law to call Child Protective Services when I see or hear about child abuse. So I reported the #Trump regime for their maltreatment of #immigrant children. #KeepFamiliesTogetherhttps://other98.com/as-a-pediatrician-im-legally-required-to-call-child-protective-services-on-the-trump-regime/ …

Replying to @DrSriram
FYI, in the next year, about a million American boys are going to have a perfectly natural, healthy and extremely sensitive part of their anatomy amputated, many w/out any anesthetic. Have you called CPS yet? Or is that a "tomorrow" task?

Parents can't
#consent to child abuse. Even the#AAP Bioethics Committee says parents can't give proxy consent (i.e., "informed permission") to have a child's healthy body part amputated if it's not for diagnosis or treatment.#i2#HisBodyHisChoice http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/95/2/314.full.pdf …1 reply 1 retweet 7 likes -

#i2#HisBodyHisChoice Amputation of healthy tissue is a drastic treatment of last resort, to be employed only when necessary because more conservative and less invasive treatment of a serious, presently existing, adverse physical, clinical condition would be ineffective...1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

#i2#HisBodyHisChoice That is never the case for a newborn’s healthy foreskin. Amputation of a boy’s foreskin in the absence of any adverse physical, clinical condition clearly is neither “diagnosis” nor “treatment.”1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

#i2#HisBodyHisChoice Nothing about the non-therapeutic amputation of a unique, valuable and functional part of a child’s genitals would permit such an amputation before a time when the “assent of the child” — free of all forms of coercion and duress — can be sought and obtained.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

#i2 Even when parents DON'T agree to have their sons cut, circumcision can STILL be forced on them over their objections. Just ask#HeatherHironimus. Look at her face - does that look like#consent to you?

#i2 As #WilliamLloydGarrison might ask, how long will it take for us to recognize that an individual's intrinsic & inalienable right to determine for himself what is or isn't done to his own body isn't subject to the whim of "the majority," or of any plantation owner or parent?

"a practice here in the states for decades"? So was slavery. The convincing of me was hardly a solitary process. It included these 38 MDs, from 17 different countries, who concluded that the only "benefit" that might find support in medical evidence... http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/early/2013/03/12/peds.2012-2896.full.pdf …
