Is forced decalotage on little boys still supported in Belgium?

Is forced decalotage on little boys still supported in Belgium? Personal experience on my son is unfortunately showing that it is... It has been traumatic for him and us parents, so I am looking for a pediatrician and/or urologist against this procedure on infants (2 year and a half) Thank you
