'''Matthew Price''' was a 3-year-old in New Jersey, whose parents, Jim and Jennifer, agreed to leave him intact. But the doctor instructed them to retract his foreskin daily. This has not been recommended for decades. Predictabily, it caused inflammation and the doctor then recommended circumcision. Instead, the Prices stopped retracting and Matthew's problems cleared up in June 2000. The Prices are now separated, but Jennifer, who has custody, still wanted him circumcised. Jim had a traumatic circumcision and went to court to ensure that Matthew was left alone."<ref>{{REFweb |url=http://www.circumstitions.com/Matt.html |archived= |title=The case of Matthew Price |trans-title= |language=English |last=Young |first=Hugh |author-link=Hugh Young |publisher= |website=www.circumstitions.com |date=2001 |accessdate=2020-06-18 |format= |quote=}}</ref>  In January 2001 a dispute between divorcing parents in New Jersey was resolved when the mother, who sought to have the boy circumcised withdrew her request. The boy had experienced two instances of foreskin inflammation and she wanted to have him circumcised. The father, who had experienced a traumatic circumcision as a child objected and they turned to the courts for a decision. The [https://www.mhsnj.org Medical Society of New Jersey ] and the Urological [usnj.org Urology Society of New Jersey ] both opposed any court ordered medical treatment. As the parties came to an agreement, no precedent was set.
