Landmark Custody Decision...
Philadelphia</FONT><FONT face=Arial> <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[img] /><st1:City w:st=[/img]<font face=" /><st1:State w:st="on">PA</st1:State> (AP) - </FONT>
<FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Verdana>A seven-year old boy was at the center of a <ST1
</ST1courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being </FONT><FONT size=2><FONT face=Verdana>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 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
Philadelphia Eagles, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating
anyone. </FONT></FONT></FONT>
