It is not clear why the Groths selected [[circumcision]] for Cole, since [[circumcision of the newborn]] does not treat or prevent disease and puts the infant boy at risk of [[bleeding]], [[infection]], and [[Documented severe complications of circumcision| surgical misadventure]]. The most usual reason is to enable the hospital and attending physician to collect a fee.<ref name="garrett2023-12-21">{{REFweb

==Cole's injuries==
Coles' loss of blood caused by his unnecessary circumcision caused substantial organ injury. Part of his intestines died and had to be removed by an abdominal operation. He has been fitted with a colostomy bag.<ref name="degregory2025" />
 
He will need additional surgery later to reconnect the residual parts of his intestines.<ref name="degregory2025" />
