SPOKANE (AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Spokane
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 bemaintained 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 too.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that
domestic violence was apparently a way o! f 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 Eastern Washington Eagles, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating
anyone.
