A mother who was jailed in a row over her son's circumcision has been freed after being sent to prison.
Heather Hironimus divided opinions when she refused to have her four-year-old son’s foreskin removed.
She agreed in a parenting agreement filed in court then changed her mind, sparking a lengthy legal battle.
Judges sided with the boy’s father, Dennis Nebus, but she disappeared before giving consent.
She was eventually found at a shelter in Broward County, Florida, with her son.

Hironimus refused to give her consent for the surgery and she was jailed indefinitely. After nine days in prison she appeared before the court where she cried as she signed a document giving consent.
Her mother, Mary Hironimus, said 'intactivists' - anti-circumcision activists - planned to reach out to doctors around the country to urge them not to perform the circumcision.
Georganne Chapin, Executive Director of Intact America, which advocates against circumcision, said the images of a distraught Heather Hironimus signing the form to allow the surgery show how she was 'bullied' into it and that she doesn't truly give her consent.
"If anyone finds out the circumstances under which she signed, a doctor would be insane to carry out that surgery", she said.
