CALDWELL COUNTY, NC -- Investigators say a man has been charged with child abuse in Caldwell County for circumcising his two infant sons with a utility knife.
Authorities said 32-year-old Johnny Eric Marlowe fathered children with his legal wife and another woman who live in their home. One gave birth to a boy at their home in the rural Kings Creek community in November 2005, and the other gave birth to a boy there four months later.
Caldwell County Sheriff's Detective Shelly Hartley said Marlowe denied the women prenatal care in both cases and circumcised the boys when they were 8 days old.
Marlowe later moved to Gaston County and is serving a 150-day jail sentence there on charges of resisting a public officer, assault on a female and multiple counts of child neglect.
Marlowe had a total of 11 children with the two women.

NC LAWS NEEDS SERIOUS ADJUSTMENTS. THE DISGUSTING PEOPLE GETS TO WALK AWAY W/ CRIMES B/C THE STATE ALLOWS THEM TO WALK AWAY W/ LITTLE TO NO JUSTICE AT ALL. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF NC LAWMAKERS, WOULD THIS CHANGE A DECISION TO HELP PROTECT THE INNOCENT MORE THAN THEY GET PROTECTED NOW. ITS POLITICALLY DISGUSTING ALL THE WAY AROUND. GOOD LUCK TO OUR CHILDREN AND FOR THE WOMEN WHO CARE.

This is what happens when one tries to live by the laws of the Old Testament! Circumcision days are over and done with. One is neither justified by circumcision or by uncircumcision. It is a shame that innocent children can be mistreated in such a way as this and get off that easily. It is sad to think that the law cares no more about the well being of a child than this. Moreover, I feel godly anger toward the women who would allow a man to do such a thing. I hope and pray that the children have recovered. We are justified by faith and not by works of the law!!!

I think that the court system should do the same thing to him and see how he looks it.Then put him jail and throw away key.Because 150 days just isn't justice for what he done.
