At a conference in Frankfurt this May the phrase “fair weather child protectors” was used by Christian Bahls of MOGiS in his presentation to the conference. What he meant was that there are organisations that claim to protect children but when the abuse strays into controversial territory then the organisation concerned turns a blind eye to the abuse. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) is just such an organisation.
When the video, a frame of which is shown below, was posted on Facebook the NSPCC demanded the removal of the video. The video shows a crying baby being held by the arms and repeatedly dunked into a bowl of water and the NSPCC quite rightly regarded this as a cruel practice.
There is no doubt that the cutting of any child’s genitals without an immediate medical imperative is a cruel and anachronistic practice and MDC hopes that the NSPCC will review it’s current position on the cutting of children’s genitals and will come to a gender neutral position and protect all children whether they be intersex, girls or boys.
Should anyone wish to see a video of a boy’s genitals being cut there are several available at circumstitions.com. Just the descriptions of the video content available on the site is scary enough, you have been warned.
