The Marshal Posted November 12, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2010 A seven year old boy was at the center of a Dallas 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 reasonably 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 professional football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Marcarl Posted November 13, 2010 Share #8 Posted November 13, 2010 If it was in Toronto, it would be the "Maple Leafs" for the choice. Better keep him in Texas,,,, sure enough if he were to choose Toronto ML, they would end up beating someone this weekend and spoil their streak.
