>COURT RULING, Chicago Illinois, Jun 2, 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 |
