I think a psych/competency exam might be in order... 'Moil' is not a hobby.

A father who allegedly tried to circumcise his 8-year-old son in the bathroom after reading selections from the Bible has been charged with first-degree assault of a child.
Edwin Bruce Baxter, 33, was charged Tuesday in Clark County Superior Court. Judge Diane Woolard set bail at $50,000 and scheduled an arraignment for Sept. 17.
If convicted, Baxter faces at least 10 years in prison.
According to a probable-cause affidavit, Baxter told sheriff's deputies he tried to circumcise his son with a knife Friday after reading Genesis 17 and Exodus 4 — both passages refer to the procedure.
He became concerned and called 911 when the boy appeared to be losing too much blood.
Baxter told deputies he had no medical training.
The boy was taken to Southwest Washington Medical Center, where he received several stitches.
Baxter, of Ridgefield, is married with nine children. He works as a truck driver with Helser Brothers Transfer Co. in Portland, Ore., according to court documents.
The parents have been reported in the past for allegedly failing to enroll their children in school, said Doug Lehrman, Vancouver administrator for the state Department of Children and Family Services.
Baxter was convicted in 1993 for domestic violence, Clark County senior deputy prosecutor Kim Farr said.
Ouch.
what a Freek
Damn!!!
forget 10 years in jail - I'm thinking the death penalty may be warranted in this case ;)
This so wrong. Hopefully, he didn't mess up the boy's package.
Should have practiced on himself first.

9/9/2024: Clark County man beats father to pulp after discovering truth about botched circumcision.
I don't want to pay to house him for 10 years. Just snip off the last inch or so of his weenie, w/o anesthesia, and send him home.
Just want to put on the record that in Judaism, circumcision is performed only by a professional, a highly-trained religious official known as a 'mohel.'
This does remind me of an old Jewish joke. A man is walking down the street in the Jewish section of town and notices that his watch has stopped. He notices a shop with a large clock out front, and goes in.
"My watch has stopped. How long will it take to repair it?"
"I'm not a watch-repairer," answers the shop keeper. "I'm a mohel."
"So why do you have a clock out front?"
"So what should I have?"
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
That is probably closer to the truth. I am glad I never got mutilated.
I'm a woman and this story is making me cross my legs! That poor, poor child. I hope he never again has to see that monster of a father!

Ouchie, Ouchie, Ouchie PING

He's gotta have a branch on the Bobbit's family tree.
Dear God! Some people are just beyond insane.
I am against abortion, but in this moron's mother should have had one.
