Courtroom Drama

[Wingnut]

10/24/05 Westminster MD. A seven-year-old boy was at the

center of a courtroom drama today 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 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 then 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 Baltimore Raven's, whom the boy firmly believes are not

capable of beating anyone.
