Judge gives 7-year-old 'right to decide'



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 football team...whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of
beating ANYONE !!





Groan !!

........ the end result of our GREAT SEASON, but .....there's always next
year.
