COURT RULING, Chicago Illinois, May 8, 2006 Chicago, Illinois (AP) - A

seven year old boy was at the center of a Chicago courtroom drama

yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody

of him.

 

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge

initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody

law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the

degree possible.

 

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him

more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When

the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried

out that they also beat him.

 

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning

that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the

Judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who

should have custody of him.

 

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child

welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Chicago

Cubs, who the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

 

 

I "borrowed" that from another forum. Is that alright? :wink:
