Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 MY wife got this email that made her furious: =- HORRIFIC baseline story used here, but absolutely true (as bad as it hurts to say it) in the end!!! APPLETON(AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Appleton, Wis. 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 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 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 child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Green Bay Packers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone. =---------------------------- This last sentence turned my wife's fury into the hysterical laughter that only a Green Bay Packer fan can imagine. And such fury to laughter is the very essence of the duality called good and evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
