An extract from the Liverpool Echo (Liverpools Evening Newspaper)
LIVERPOOL ECHO(AP) - a 7 year old boy was at the centre of a Liverpool 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 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 his grandparents, the boy cried out they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that
domestic violence was 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 2 recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to Everton Football Club whom the judge firmly believed are incapable of beating anyone.
