Seven year old boy challenges custody ruling in court

Post Reply New Topic

A seven year old boy was at the center of a 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 England Football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

And here I thought it was June, apparently April just started.

Hardy har har!

The English team must be getting lots of bad publicity over in the UK!

Is the English bad or docile? I don't watch or care so I don't know. I don't see how a child could be placed in the guardianship of a football team so that kind of kills the joke for me.
