Key Highlights It is very normal for boys to be circucised at the age of five in Indonesia. The boy's teacher managed to convince him to come down from the roof. The boy sat on the roof for more than two hours while the doctors and his mother waited patiently outside the medical centre.

A five-year-old boy from Indonesia staged a sit-in protest on the roof of a medical centre to avoid being circumcised. According to reports, he ran away from the doctors and his mother just minutes before the procedure.

The unnamed child visited the medical centre with his mother, but upon knowing what was going to happen, he fled the scene and managed to climb up to the roof. He stayed on the roof for more than two hours.

Fearing the boy would make another escape attempt, the mother and the doctors didn’t go up to the roof and patiently waited outside the medical centre, reported LadBible.

Anik Sutari, one of the doctors who witnessed the amusing incident, shared her thoughts on a Facebook post along with a picture of the little boy.

“Throughout the history of my profession, 20 years of nyunat, and from thousands of children that I have been circumcision, just now his child ran away until he went up to the roof. Everyone is trying to seduce, but no one dares to get rid of him because he is afraid of his child running and endangering his safety,” Sutari wrote on Facebook.

In order to convince the boy to come down from the room, the doctors and his mother sought help from a teacher. The doctors wanted the teacher to coax the boy gently so that he would come down and complete the procedure.

Much to the delight of the doctors and the mother, the idea actually worked.

“After 2 hours waiting, but no sign of child want to go down, suddenly his parents remember someone, bu teacher......!!! Yaaaaa....... it's the guru......!!!! It's true..... as soon as the teacher comes, with a little persuasion finally the child wants to go down......And the more magical...... the child walks himself towards the place of circumcision execution, directly positioning himself, without being led especially forced,” Sutrai added on Facebook.

The boy not only came down from the roof but was also was very quiet during the procedure and didn’t even cry, said the doctors.

It is very normal for boys to be circucised at the age of five in Indonesia. The practice is a norm for Muslim families and their children in the country.
