Bubba Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Justice in CINCINNATI, OH (AP/Reuters) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Hamilton County 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 child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest 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 and said 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 the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Cincinnati Bengals Football team, whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.

Ziggy Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Had me going all the way to the end. That story has roots in real life though. I saw on the news recently there was a kid picked up running down the street from his mother who was then arrested for beating him with an extension cord. I hadn't heard much past that though.
