Local rabbi accused of infecting babies with herpes

My understanding was that this so called tradition is done by a very small portion of the Jewish population (i.e. less than 2%) that is extremely religious (not all religious Jews follow this practice).

I understood the tradition to be to suck the blood out of the circumcised part (after it is cut off).

I am one that is anti-cicumcisin though - it seems barbaric. However it is a difficult to balance between freedom of religion and individual rights and most politicians won't go near the issue.
 
So it's not just catholic priests! This is terrible and that particular practise has no place in today's society.
