The AAP and premature forcible retraction of the foreskin: Add section.
The AAP is the nation's leading child care organization, but it has taken no action to educate its pediatrician members and other doctors on the [https://en.intactiwiki.org/wiki/Foreskin_Care_for_Boys proper care of the infant foreskin], so as to avoid [[iatrogenic]] injury of boys.
 
== AAP discards its former Circumcision Policy Statement ==
 
In the [[AAP]]'s 2012 Circumcision Task force report, the issues of sensitivity reduction were given obligatory mention but largely glossed over, and little space was devoted to the topic. The 2012 Task Force Report received [[American_Academy_of_Pediatrics#Criticism| overwhelmingly heavy critical comment]]. The purpose of the disastrous, now expired AAP 2012 report was to encourage neonatal non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] and [[third-party payment]] so little or nothing was said about the multiple functions of the [[foreskin]].<ref name="hill2013">{{REFdocument

}}</ref> The failed 2012 AAP Circumcision Policy expired in 2017 and has not been re-affirmed or re-validated in any way. The AAP currently has ''no'' circumcision policy and does ''not'' recommend [[circumcision]] of boys, but does not inform the public of the [[pain]], [[trauma]], and permanent loss of foreskin [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| physiological function]] caused by [[circumcision]].
