Non Boxing - Friday's Funny
Posted: 24 Jun 2010, 12:17
A seven year old boy was at the centre of a court room 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 New
South Wales State of Origin team, whom the boy firmly believes are
not capable of beating anyone.
