Peterson wanted to have her son circumcised after being inspired by reading the Old Testament, but decided to do it herself in Oct. 2010 because she thought he was too old for doctors to perform the procedure on him, the paper reported.<ref name="nydaily"/>
Peterson told authorities that she follows the “Hebrew” religion, but doesn’t attend services at any particular establishment.<ref>{{REFweb
