Subject: Utah Courts and Custody Hearing of a 7 Year Old
Salt Lake City, UT. (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a SL County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy had 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 had 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, whom everyone firmly believes are NOT capable of beating anyone.

I guess this is one thing we just have to agree to disagree on, right? And by the way, we will be rooting for the Utes on the 2nd. But as a graduate of the Y (gasp!) I will always hope we can beat the you know what out of you during our rivalry games, maybe next year. . . I forgot to tell you when your girls were over I got out our window markers and Jenna wrote in big red letters "Utah rocks", she thought it was so funny. It was cute, I think you and Dave have her trained well (or and your family today, hope you all are doing good. We will have your girls over again soon, those kids had so much fun together.
