Arlington, TX (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Tarrant 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 Dallas Cowboys
Football Team [GCFL: replace with your least favorite team], whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
