Justice in Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville, TN (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a *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 Tennessee Titans, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

The Bucs can babysit, if needed...

We will be much better off when we learn to deal with things as they really are, instead of how we wish them to be!

He'd be safe with the Padres or Chargers too!

The first time I heard that it was the Cowboy who were going to get the child. Personally I wouldn't do that to any kid regardless of what his parents were like.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.
