It is breathtakingly unbelievable!!

I thought the judge said that the court did not have jurisdiction.(?) Does anyone know what steps will be taken next? This story has been haunting me.

INSANE!!!!

The state should be able to charge them with felony child abuse

Interesting how so few commenting actually read the basis for the decision.

Welcome to the consequences of liberal America

Hopefully these little girls grow up and show up on this dirt bags porch and do a little mutilation of their own

Ghaaaa!!!!

When religion, the greatest all evils that mankind has brought to the face of the earth, our common sense and decency is the loser. Mutilation in the name of religion is worst sort of crime against children. Sad little people that cling to a fairy tale should be pitied really.

This is disgusting. Lock that monster up.

Stunning, our judges unable to see the difference between right and wrong (7th century). Will women soon be subject to stoning?

This needs more attention. What a travesty. That judge is ignorant.

The state of Michigan is disgusting. No one should be touching women like that. This attitude is how Larry Nassar got away with his 'practices' for so long. Get these people out of our country!

OMG insane!!

AMERICAN VALUES

Speechless.

This crap in America is what will start an internal war.

He should be incarcerated! WTF? 7!!!!!!

Where are the women in their pink hats protesting this? Where are the human rights pple... sickening

Am I Reading This Wrong⁉️😳

Unbelievable.

Is there any chance of new/different charges being filed or is it open season on little girls’ genitalia in MI now? I read a local story and didn’t see any comments from the prosecutors?

Why?

Based on the commerce clause?

Sickening. What is happening in these upper states?
