Default Too good not to share: ALBERTA Judge makes unprecedented ruling....

ALBERTA Judge makes unprecedented ruling....


EDMONTON, ALBERTA (CP) -A seven-year-old Edmonton boy was at the center of an Edmonton city 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 alleged they had 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 Edmonton Oilers, whom the boy and judge both firmly believe are not capable of beating anyone.



My friend e-mailed this to me and even though I am an oilers fan and this is pretty bad it's so true

That would be an understatement Right now the oilers are in 2nd last place in the standings and we've lost the last 16 (or something close to that) games.

Good thing the boy's from Edmonton! If he lived in Calgary he wouldn't be safe with the Flames.

I do feel bad for all the Oilers fans lately. But the Oilers haven't been doing that great the past few years. I'm a Flames fan myself (but I keep it on the D.L. when I'm out for fear of my safety).
