My neighbor (the jump back dive shack of Grand Turk) maliciously called social workers on me while my mom was visiting us. We were all having great fun when suddenly police and social workers were banging on the back door as of there was a murder in progress.

At the hospital we were put in a examination room. All four of my children, my mom, 2 police, 2 social workers, and 2 doctors all in one examination room. We were told that my kids would have to be examined for abuse due to the call to social work.

The doctors, police, and social workers joked and laughed the entire time. They were following their routine but because I am white they joked that I am not the ‘typical Caribbean parent’ so they knew that I don’t beat my children (as many Caribbean parents do).

My boys were (3, 5, 8) at the time. The examination turn a strange turn towards and focus on my boys’ penises when they noticed that they are not circumcised. My oldest was embarrassed to the point of tears as the doctor fondled his foreskin in front of everyone in the room.

My middle son completely rejected the procedure after seeing his older brother’s experience while yelling, “nobody’s touching my peewee!” And my youngest went through with it but was also very traumatized by the experience.

I was told by the doctor that I should massage each of their penises every day, twice a day with lotion to force the foreskin back. This is completely false information and would make for a traumatic childhood.

I did a lot of research on forks in care following this experience just to be sure that my knowledge was correct and I confirmed that the foreskin should be left alone. Normal cleansing procedures are enough.

It was a horrifying experience. I will never allow my children to be violated like that again. I will do whatever it takes. I was caught completely off guard and could never imagine adult ‘authority figures’ to act in such a way, laughing, joking while violating my children.

They further insisted that my sons would have to be circumcised now since they weren’t circumcised at birth. Obviously I said absolutely not. What is wrong with people?!
Hopefully my experience saves others!Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This is horrifying. I’m sorry your family had to go through this. Everyone who played a sickening role in this story should be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The doctors, the cops, the person who made the false report... Shame on them all!
