added another CircShock photo and slideshow
== Misinterpretation of the shock ==
More and more parents (especially from the USA) are posting photos of their newborn sons on the Internet after genital mutilation. Your comments on the photos often testify to a complete misinterpretation of the situation.

=== "Felt nothing" ===
Parents are very often misled by the statement by doctors and nurses that the child did not feel anything and is now sleeping peacefully. Often the parents are not present at the circumcision either. Newborns do not yet have any or only very few blockers of the nociceptors that transmit pain sensations to the brain.
