Mother Botches DIY Circumcision On 3-month-old Son

Portland, OR---- With inspiration from reading her Bible and watching a couple of YouTube videos for good measure, Keemonta Peterson, 29, decided her son needed to be circumcised. In a Do-It-Yourself gone horribly wrong, she used a box cutter and a pair of pliers and proceeded to remove her infant's foreskin.

Can I get a "What the Hell" here?

Halfway through the procedure, things weren't going so well as there was far too much blood. Peterson used the pliers as a tourniquet as baby boy suffered for two hours with uncontrolled bleeding and immense pain.

Peterson finally called 911. Her baby boy was rushed to an emergency room, where he was first listed in critical condition. He has since recovered and has been placed with a family member along with his three siblings.

Peterson had been in the Multnomah County Jail on a $550,000 bail, charged with first-and-second-degree assault and first-degree criminal mistreatment. Bond was lowered to $5,000. She is now out of jail and allowed supervised visits her children.

Hide the box cutters, pliers and most of all, the bible. Crazy folk and religious materials are never a good mix.

Peterson has a MySpace where she claims to be "Yahayah's Chosen Vessel". You can catch her singing on her YouTube account.

Shout out to Multnomah County Sheriff's Office for the excellent quality mug shot.
