Mother files federal civil rights complaint over circumcision

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Florida woman who fled with her 4-year-old son to keep his circumcision from going forward has filed a civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the boy.

Heather Hironimus, who filed the complaint late Monday, is hoping a federal judge might intervene where state judges haven't.

The complaint is repeating her claims that surgery on her 4-year-old son isn't necessary, that the boy doesn't want it, and that his constitutional rights are being violated.

Aside from seeking to stop the procedure, Hironimus is trying to avoid her own arrest. 

Her arrest was ordered after she fled in February and ignored a judge's demand that she appear in court and allow the circumcision to go forward.'
