Missouri Couple Charged with Child Abuse After Botched Home Circumcision
A Missouri couple, Tyler Wade Gibson and his wife, Bailey Alexus Gibson, have been charged with child abuse following a botched circumcision performed on a child at their home.
According to a probable cause affidavit from the Morgan County Prosecuting Attorney, Tyler has been charged with child abuse and performing an unauthorized surgery. Bailey is also facing child abuse charges.
The affidavit reveals that on November 27, Tyler “knowingly performed a circumcision” on a child under 18 at their residence, resulting in significant physical injury. Tyler, who is not a licensed medical practitioner, reportedly used a utility tool for the procedure. He admitted to police that he had no formal medical training but had conducted research and prayed a blessing before attempting the surgery.
Following the botched procedure, the child was initially taken to Lake Regional Hospital and later transferred to Columbia University Hospital for further treatment. Police were notified by the hospital shortly after midnight on November 28.
Tyler reportedly left the hospital against medical advice, claiming he and Bailey grew tired of waiting after four hours. He admitted to police that he was unprepared for the amount of bleeding and decided to take the child to the hospital after the situation escalated.
Court documents also state that Bailey admitted to assisting Tyler during the procedure.
Tyler appeared in court on December 3, while Bailey is scheduled for a court appearance on January 28, 2025. Both face serious charges as authorities continue to investigate the incident.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
