Kentucky Judge gives 7 year old right to decide custody

Lexington, KY, March 4, 2009



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 University of Kentucky basketball team, whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.:-)

My 6th grade teacher would not find this joke entertaining. Her son went there, and she was a big UK fan. I on the other hand do find it entertaining. :-)
