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 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 her. When

the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried

out 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 child

welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Green Bay

Packers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating

anyone.
