    Cleveland, OH (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Cuyahoga County 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 regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest 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 and said 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 the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Washington Redskins, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

    But the Redksins have 1 win. Might have been better if you actually picked a team that has not won yet.

    I saw the same story on the Redskins Fan page on Facebook, but it was DC and Loudoun County. How pathetic that that's on their Fan page!!!

    Caps (2nd fave) certainly are something to look forward to (Go Bruins!) but if the Redskins win 3-4 in a row, see who is easily top dog in the media. ;)

    My guess, after being a native Northeast Ohioan, is that the original team listed in this was the Cleveland Browns. No wins yet......not even close to a win! I guess I have to just keep saying every Clevelander's mantra "There's always next year"....football....baseball.....basketball....ugh:eww:
