Man sentenced for trying to circumcise 8-year-old son
06:26 AM PST on Thursday, December 16, 2004 Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. - A Ridgefield man has been sentenced to three years in prison for attempting to circumcise his 8-year-old son at home with a hunting knife. Edwin Baxter, 33, was sentenced in Clark County Superior Court. A jury convicted Baxter last week of assault of a child. Baxter was arrested on Sept. 3. He performed the circumcision on his son after reading about the procedure in the Bible. He called 911 when he felt his son was losing too much blood. According to 911 tapes played in court, Baxter told the dispatcher, "Long story short, sir? I was studying my Bible and decided to circumcise my 8-year-old." The defense argued that Baxter did not intend to harm his son and that the boy has fully recovered. Baxter and his wife, Tammy, 30, have nine children and Tammy Baxter was pregnant at the time of the arrest. Tammy Baxter and the children disappeared after Edwin Baxter was arrested and state officials have yet to locate them. Before his trial began, Edwin Baxter turned down a plea deal that would have given him credit for time served and released him from jail. -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

you think thats bad, North African cultures commonly circumsize their GIRLS when they are about age 10. No doctor trips either, a nice piece of broken glass will do just fine... soo soo wrong...
