> A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Wayne 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 Detroit Lions, whom the
> boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.....
