What the petition asks
I strongly believe that no child should be forced to have holes punctured in to their skin until they are old enough to understand what is involved.
If you made a hole like that in any other part of a baby/child, you would have them taken away. Just because it has a gem in it, it's different? People say “It's better to get them done when they're little because they don't remember it”... It's not compulsory.
