OT: Ground breaking custody case - The Orange Mane

scttgrd · 09-13-2007, 03:51 PM

Oakland, CA (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a
Franklin 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 Oakland Raiders, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

I have seen this posted with other team names on different forums, and with it being raider week I thought it was appropriate.

OK, who's going to roll out the one about the mysteryous powdery white substance on Oakland's field?

I first heard that from my cousin except it was the Broncos who couldnt beat anyone. I think it was around 94. We started the year 0 and 4.
