Nebraska Custody Case
THIS IS SUCH A SAD STORY- PLEASE TRY NOT TO CRY
Lincoln, Ne (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Lancaster 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 regulations 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 Nebraska Cornhuskers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone!!
I'm a serious husker fan, just thought this fit pretty well for the season.

That's a pretty (un)popular joke here in South Bend, but with Notre Dame inserted.
Being a The Ohio State University fan, I think it's pretty funny.0 -
