Mom in circumcision fight found, jailed

[TexasTowelie]

After two months in hiding, Heather Hironimus, the mother at the center of a bitter circumcision battle, was booked Thursday into Broward County Jail, records show.

A Palm Beach County judge in March signed a warrant for Hironimus' arrest for contempt of court after she failed to appear in court with the boy so a circumcision could be performed. According to Broward county records, Hironimus was booked in into the jail just after 6 p.m. Thursday.

Hironimus has been fighting Dennis Nebus, the father of her child, for years over the circumcision of their son. After the couple split, they decided on a "parenting plan" in 2012 that allowed for Nebus to circumcise the boy.

A state court judge ruled in Nebus' favor in May 2014, and in March ordered Hironimus to hand the boy over.

Hironimus and her son, now 4-1/2, did not show up in court and went into hiding.

1. I'm sorry, but I don't think circumcision should be a given.

In any case, doing it this late makes no sense, unless there's an actual medical reason for it.

I still regret that I had my sons circumcised. Personal opinion here. Your opinions may well vary.

2. I watched the circumcision of my second son and vowed "Never again".

I think if one parent objects then the child can chose to have the proceedure when he comes of age. Personally the way it was done in 1977, it was child abuse.
