Child Custody
 

A seven-year-old Baltimore, Maryland boy was at the center of a Baltimore 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 furthest 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 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 Baltimore Ravens, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

I was sincerely hoping that this post was leading to a such a resolve. :thumbs:

omg my spouse and i are cracking up

:rofl:

Channelling Solomon, obviously.

Sounds like a Dolphins joke this year.

Cute! And I'm a Ravens fan.

And they're playing the Patriots this week :D

I thought he was awarded custody to the Nebraska Cornhusker football team. At least that's the story I told my sister inlaw who is a HUGE Huskers fan.
