The Boston Globe August 29, 2006 Roxbury MA (AP) - A seven-year-old boy
was
at the center of a Boston 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 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 then 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
Boston Red Sox, whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating
anyone. :-)
