A two-week old boy died at a Brooklyn hospital in September after contracting herpes through a religious circumcision ritual that ignited controversy in 2005 after another infant died, the Daily News has learned.

The unidentified infant died Sept. 28, 2011, at Maimonides Hospital, according to a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner, who confirmed the death after a News inquiry.

The cause of death was listed as “disseminated herpes simplex virus Type 1, complicating ritual circumcision with oral suction.”

City officials declined to comment Friday.

It’s unclear who performed the circumcision.

In 2004, city health officials revealed that a baby boy died after a circumcision carried out by a Rockland County rabbi who specializes in the centuries-old, ultra-Orthodox ritual known as metzizah b’ peh.

Under the practice, the rabbi or mohel removes blood from the wound with his mouth — a practice city health officials have criticized, saying it carried “inherent risks” for babies.

Don't question god you heathen.

[Sera]

lol, he's sucking a baby's dick off but I'm the heathen

things that are sad but true

[Siatdiat]

I'm unreasonable and bigoted for thinking religion is dangerous.

[Blarg]

So what you would rather just have this baby bleed all over itself, and you call yourself moral? The rabbi basically has no choice but to suck that blood up with his mouth.

There's gotta be such thing as vampire pedophilia porn. There has to be.

oh god why

[Chun Liroy]

Religion etc.

[Lucavi]

Not touching this one, but not surprised. Its no worse than other religious nuts burning people at the stake for "witchcraft and sorcery".

[Sera]

I really just want a jewish person to explain how this is not a sex offense.

[Sera]

A jewish person that is not solanis. A real jewish person.

[solanis]

so not only do you get to tell me what my gender is and how my transition has happened, you get to tell me what religion I am? you're a real piece of work lol

oral suction isn't a common practice, I'd never even heard of it until this thread. a little suction thingie is used, I'm guessing only crazy orthodox people use the mouth.

[Sera]

I said, a real jew.

[Chun Liroy]

Wait, so when was she wrong about your orientation or religion. I only remember referring to you as a gay jew.

[Sera]

Where is ZEALOT. I want him to explain this to me.

[Kurokikaze]

Religious people doing crazy shit? GTFO.

[Sera]

Yeah but i mean, even the Catholics had to eventually answer for shit like this.

Usually hardcore orthodox only do this ritual, I think most use a glass tube.

I'll ask my friend more later, his family is hardcore orthodox. You can probably find more information online easily though.

there's really not much re: my questions

Why is it not child abuse to do it and child neglect to allow someone else to do it? Not talking about the circ, talking about the oral sucking

[Alleya]

Sera you don't get it. Saying it's what god wants makes it ok.
