Edmonton -Alberta (AP) - A seven year old boy was at the center of a Edmonton 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 Edmonton Oilers whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
Hahahaha!! Too too funny. I have to blame Jill, though, just in case this post results in the big "D". LOL. This was just a forward, which I thought was too cute!! I'd have put in Calgary's name, but they didn't even beat enough people to make it to the playoffs!! As all of you know my vote is for the Oiler's always, so let's hope they take home the cup. (Maybe we should hope and PRAY!!!)
God bless!! Char
