Interesting child custody case

[Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs]

SEATTLE WA, (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a KING 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 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Oh Steve, that was baaaaad.

 

Almost as bad as the combined w/l record of our two major college teams and the Seahawks 3/27. It's a sorry year for pigskin fans in this neck of the woods.

 

At least we have basket.., oops never mind.

There was a similar case in Cleveland a few years ago.

Same with the Cardinals, but looks like they're out on probation ...

Dunno, the Detroit Lions might soon be filing a motion to intervene. They truly haven't beaten anyone, and apparently can't. Rumor has it they're moving to the Philippines next season and will be known as the Manila Folders. :smirk:

Sorry, I'm sure the St. Louis Rams will eventually get custody. They couldn't even beat SF!!!!
