 courtroom: New York, NY (AP) - A six-year-
 old boy was at the center of a
 NYC courtroom drama
 yesteraay When he challengea
 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 just like his parents and he
 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. Now learning
 that violence was apparently a
 way of life for the family, the
 judge took the unprecedented
 step of allowing the boy to
 propose who should have
 custody of him. After conferring
 with the child welfare officials,
 the judge granted temporary
 custody to the New York Giants,
 whom the boy firmly believes
 are not capable of beating
 anyone.
