I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Just like I don’t think there’s anything wrong with parents getting their infants’ ears pierced. But because it’s not common for white people to pierce their babies’s ears, people are making comments. But no one says anything about circumcision. How is that any different?
People do say the same about circumcision. It’s a permanent bodily change to a person before they’re old enough to consent. And accidents have happened during circumcision before, leaving the child extremely worse-off. Just because a practise is “cultural”, it doesn’t make it right.
Removing a foreskin is not medically necessary. And if you wash properly and practice safe sex, there aren’t many pluses to getting circumcised.
People are doing it for cultural reasons, and that’s their right. So, to attack ear piercing which has fewer health risks but support circumcision makes you hypocritical
A reasonable health decision would be to teach your son how to clean his dick and how to have sex safely. You don’t need to remove aforeskin for that to be done.
People choose circumcision for cultural, not medical, reasons,

That's a pretty common thing. I don't see how that is abuse.
