Then around midnight on the morning of Oct. 24 — using a box cutter as a scalpel and a pair of pliers as a tourniquet — she began the procedure. She had no experience. When she couldn't control the bleeding, she tried to stitch her baby while her 13 year old son watched on distressed. After two hours, Peterson called 911. The infant was rushed to the ER initially in critical condition.
Peterson was arrested under accusations of first- and second-degree assault and first-degree criminal mistreatment. According to the prosecutor’s motion, a doctor described the baby’s condition upon arrival as life-threatening, and the pain as immense. The boy appears to have recovered with no apparent permanent injury.
Peterson told authorities that she follows the “Hebrew” religion, but doesn’t attend services at any particular establishment.[2]
