I've mentioned here before about my pro-circ mom who is a special ed teacher (3-5 year olds). She has some students who need diaper changes and she used to come home talking about how the "uncircumcised" kids had tiny penises and how it was too bad their parents were too poor to circumcise them, etc.
She was pretty pissed when she learned we weren't going to circ her grandson, telling us how it would make his penis smaller. lol. After he was born, she did admit she was glad we didn't put him through the circumcision, but that she still believed it was the parent's choice.
Today she told me about a new kid she has. He is deaf, has learning disabilities (I assume), and isn't potty trained. She said that with all the strikes against him, his penis is terribly scarred from being circumcised. She said if there was a perfect testament to why parents should NOT circumcise, this little boy is it. She did not go into detail, but I feel so bad for the little guy.. but it is amazing that my mom has changed her mind on this issue!
