Detroit emergency room doctor charged with child genital mutilation

[Mosby]

A doctor at Detroit's Henry Ford Hospital has been arrested and charged in connection to performing female genital mutilation on young girls.

Jumana Nagarwala, 44, of Northville Michigan is accused of performing female genital mutilation on underage girls. Nagarwala works in the emergency room at Henry Ford Hospital.

According to a criminal complaint, Nagarwala performed the procedure on girls ages six to eight years old at a medical clinic in Livonia, Michigan.

Some of the children were brought from out of state for the illegal procedure. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is considered the complete removal or partial removal of the clitoris, known as a clitoridectomy. FGM is internationally recognized as a violation of the human rights of women and girls.

I am glad the hospital was not involved.

...Henry Ford Hospital issued the following statement:

The alleged criminal activity did not occur at any Henry Ford facility. We would never support or condone anything related to this practice. The doctor has immediately been placed on administrative leave.

It's hard to believe this happened in the USA even if it didn't happen at a hospital.

12. There is no amount of prison time they can give her..

... that would be enough.

13. She sould serve the maximum possible sentence...

The parents of the mutilated girls should serve the maximum possible sentence and their children should be permanently remove from their homes.

And I may get beat up here, but anyone convicted who is not a citizen they should be immediately deported when released from prison. There are some things that are so bad we must send the message...totally unacceptable!
