| Description | An Illinois judge has halted the circumcision of an 8-year-old boy while his father contests the mother's plan for the operation.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge Jordan Kaplan granted a temporary restraining order on the operation Friday, the Chicago Tribune reports, but to preserve the child's privacy the newspaper isn't releasing names.
The 31-year-old mother has said two doctors agreed with the circumcision, saying it will prevent medical problems.
The 49-year-old father fears it will harm his son both emotionally and physically. He called it an "unnecessary amputation."
