Colorado Judge gives 7 year old right to decide custody
"A seven year-old boy was at the center of a county courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy had a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody laws and regulations which require 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 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 unprecendented 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 Denver Broncos, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone."
This joke was hard for me to retell since it is about my beloved Broncos, but its either laugh or cry at this point. Thank heavens for my Ducks.
The My Little Pony insignia by the way - Perfect at this point. I think our coach is still young enough to play with those.
