NSW COURTROOM DRAMA
A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a Parramatta, NSW 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 greatest 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 maintained 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 English Cricket Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

What do you mean, they hammered the Kiwis by miles, and the Kiwis are notoriously one of the toughest cricket teams to beat with their massive population to draw from!
