Ontario Judge makes unprecedented ruling


Another case of truth being stranger than fiction...


TORONTO, ONTARIO (CP) OCT.13,2009


A seven-year-old Toronto, Ontario boy was at the center of a Toronto
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 & the judge
initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law
& 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 & 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 & 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 & confer with child welfare
officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Toronto Maple
Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

that is one kick ass ruling, if people don't understand this whole beat your kids thing, watch Russell peters beat your kids. If you were not born in Canada you know where i am coming from.

beating your kids make them disciplined.

Not beat-them-to-the-emergency-room, but more like a smack, and don't do that again because you clearly do not take repetitive verbal warnings seriously enough.


why do you think all the new generation of kids walk all over their parents and act like they are the centre of the universe?

[supguyex]

because it's all about the children... all about the children. everybody's a child and beating them is ignorant.....

If my future children are ever disrespectful to myself or their mother they will have their limbs zap-strapped together and I will toss them in the pool.

Now before you go and judge me let me just say this:
Right before they lose consciousness I will dive in and save them. Then I'll remind them that I gave them life and can take it away.

hahahaha.

It's parenting 101. Teach 'em who's boss.

EDIT: Back to the ruling... I will have to show my parents this later. They will enjoy it.

my parents were from germany though, so that explains it. very traditional.

so you weren't able to own a car or move out (ie. come and go as you please) til you hit a certain age?

This is freakin ridiculous and I'm closing it. People, please try to remember you're on a car forum where people with like-minded passions and interests about cars come together and share their passions about cars and car stuff. Even though it's an OT section, that doesn't mean post absolutely everything and anything that crosses your brain or your computer screen that you find. A lot of the posts lately have been totally random and a waste of time to even click on and read.
Please try to remember this in future posting.
