Unaccompanied Minor (27 page)

In Judge Cheevers’s case, all he did in response to my mother’s petition for emergency custody was file a response that said, simply, “The court sees no reason to readdress custody.”

It’s a good thing I’ve gotten pretty talented at navigating battlegrounds myself. So I took Alby’s advice and submitted a Petition for the Emancipation of a Minor on my own behalf. My mother is behind me on this. Some people would think this meant she was unfit to care for me, but we see that differently.

END.
