===Abusive promotion of non-therapeutic circumcision in Ontario===
Dr. Omar Afandi, an Ontario paediatrician, improperly accessed hospital records at [https://www.wrh.on.ca/ Windsor General Hospital] and elsewhere to learn the names of mothers who had given birth to a boy. He then telephoned the mothers to offer them an unnecessary [[circumcision]] in his clinic in Windsor. The records of as many as 800 mothers may have been accessed.<ref>{{REFnews
