Custody Hearing a Shocking Story!
A seven-year-old boy from Toronto was at the centre of a courtroom
drama in an Ontario Superior Courthouse this morning when he challenged
a court ruling over who should have legal custody of the juvenile.
The boy has a history of being beaten repeatedly by both parents and
the judge had previously awarded custody to the boy's aunt.
The boy confirmed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and
refused to live there. When the judge then suggested that he be
placed with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they beat him
more severely than anyone.
The judge, in an unprecedented ruling, dramatically allowed the boy,
inspite of his youth and obvious inexperience, to make his own choice
as to who should have legal guardianship over him.
In front of a packed and cheering courtroom this morning, custody was
granted to the Toronto Maple Leafs as the boy stated his firm belief
that they are, in point of fact, not capable of beating anyone.
