Justice in Salt Lake City...

Salt Lake City, UT (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a SALT LAKE 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 BYU Cougars Football Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

I got it as an email and cut and pasted it.

Trust me, I am not that creative.

After reading the link, I wonder if it was a real story that someone used to make the BYU joke out of or if family.com took the last part out and reported it as true.

for YBU to use a tough name like "Cougar" when we all know there a bunch of poossycats on that team. I think they should change their name to the YBU Poossycats. The kid is right, that team can't beat anybody...hahahahahahahahhaha. Losers. The Cougars are Losers...hahahahahahhahaha.
