May 8, 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.
