That's an article shared with me through the VaginaPagina community.

I've heard of this stuff happening before....I just...don't understand it. I don't understand this "need" people have for children to look "normal." Sure, a few might be traumatized that

I know we talked about this on MSN but yeah! Very sick and twisted, in my opinion. You're right. Children shouldn't be forced to change that integral part of themselves. Young girls will most definitely have issues afterward. That's unthinkable. And unacceptable. You have parents telling their kids that they don't look good now a days, more than enough of that, that is to say. But this is even worse. This is just degrading, and an abominable practice. And to think there are parents that are ok with this!

I'm not sure how doctors told parents about this and got them to agree. Are these parents just stupid? I totally don't understand. And then, what's they deal with these post-tests? How is sexually molesting the child with the parent in the room make it ok?

Go ahead! I just added you:)
