Another Use For Super Glue?

From the Houston Chronicle:
A civilian at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston was arrested Wednesday for nearly pulling off her 6-year-old son's genitals because she was angry with him, and then using superglue to try to repair them, court records said.
The FBI charged Jennifer Marie Vargas, 34, with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction resulting in serious bodily injury. She faces up to 10 years in prison.
A criminal complaint affidavit said the child's father, who is enlisted in the Army, returned to his home from work Sept. 27 and found his son crying in an upstairs bedroom.
The father saw bloody tissue in the boy's underwear and a severe injury to his scrotum, and took him to the San Antonio Military Medical Center, the affidavit said.
There, he was found to have a laceration to his scrotum that was 4 centimeters long and he had bruising to his penis area, the affidavit said.
“Due to the child's extreme physical pain, the medical staff had to administer medication,” the affidavit said. “The child was taken into surgery to repair the damage to his scrotum.”
The child is recovering from the surgery and remains in his father's custody.
Vargas, the affidavit said, admitted to agents that while angry with the boy she grabbed him by the scrotum and pulled him to her as hard as she could, “thereby ripping his 'sack' and causing a laceration.”
Vargas told agents she cleaned the wound with alcohol and then tried to fix it with superglue, the affidavit said.
