Texas 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 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 Dallas Cowboys, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

I'm somewhat overjoyed to hear about the misfortunes of the Dallas Cowboys -- can't think of a more deserving team for a dose of humility.
Go Packers!

That reminds me of the time the Cleveland Browns were moving to Baltimore and a local radio station was asking listeners for ideas on how to make them stay in Cleveland.
One caller suggested that if they paint a goal line around the city, none of the players would be able to cross over it.
