Heather Hironimus from Boynton Beach, Florida (USA) is the mother of the now well-known boy Chase, born in October 2010, who should be circumcised following a parenting plan that she had co-signed, in 2012, with the boy’s father, which stipulated that the child be circumcised for hygienic reasons.
In a dispute with the father of the boy who the mother shares custody with, several courts had ruled against the mother. She had withdrawn her granted permission to circumcision because Chase has anxiety prior to the surgery. Also, the boy should not expect an unnecessary anesthesia. Her laywer stated that she has hidden in an undisclosed domestic violence center in the South of the state.[1]
While she and her son were still hiding from a signed warrant for her arrest[2], they have already become very famous in the intactivists movement. Heather Hironimus appealed to the community: "I am pleading with fellow intactivists, parents and all others to help me save my son, his foreskin, his rights and hopefully other children from allowing the ‘system’ to make these decisions”.[3]
On May 14, 2015, she had been arrested, as CBS12 reported.[4]
On May 22, 2015, she was forced to sign a circumcision consent form in a Palm Beach County, Florida courtroom, so that her 4.5 year old son could be cut by his father.[5][6]
It seemed as if the father of young Chase found a doctor who was willing to circumcise his son on June 11th, 2015, in Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital (JDCH) in Hollywood, Florida, as Intact America stated on their Facebook page. Protests against the doctor and the hospital by thousands of intactivists, plus a Cease and Desist Order[7] by Heather's new attorney seem to have cancelled the scheduled circumcision at the JDCH so far.[8]
