Florida Circumcision Case: Heather Hironimus Arrested After Going Into Hiding To Avoid Son's Court Mandated Circumcision

A Florida mother who had been in hiding for nearly three months to avoid a court-mandated circumcision of her son was arrested this week, the latest development in an ongoing and bitter legal battle about the procedure. Heather Hironimus was taken into custody Thursday evening on contempt charges for violating a judge's ruling that ordered her to allow her 4-year-old son to be circumcised, local media reported.
