Heather Hironimus has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the boy's court-ordered circumcision. She's still a fugitive and remains at a domestic abuse center with her son Chase.
In the federal lawsuit, Hironimus and her attorney, Thomas Hunker, call the procedure "elective" and "cosmetic," and said the boy currently lives in fear about having a circumcision performed.
"Under the circumstances of this case, circumcision is invasive, irreversible, painful and will cause [the child] physical and psychological harm," the suit reads.
The suit also claims Chase's faher Dennis Nebus, Judge Gillen and Sheriff Bradshaw were all material to the circumcision decision and are all at fault for the civil rights violations. It also claims the parties conspired to violate the child's rights.

Hironimus is catching some flack from those (including the boy's father) who believe she should not be showing Chase's image or using his real name.
I understand her protest and the goals of her supporters, but I don't think I'd be tossing my child's name and image out into the public realm.
