The son is not a criminal. When he grows up, he will circumcise himself.
It is true that the law basically enforces the mitzvot, and if his father is not circumcised, there is an obligation on the public/lawyers to circumcise him. But none of this is relevant today when society is not halakhic.

What needs to happen so that we can force heretics who deny their son a basic right to circumcision?
