Uncle Wins Custody of Orphans in Interracial Case
A Wisconsin judge awarded custody of four children to their uncle Benjamin Gaines, an Air Force sergeant at Hamilton Air Force Base, saying the plan for adoption and a growing family is better. The children Christian age 6 Linda 4 and twins Michael and Larry 4 months live with their grandparents Chester and Mrs Rygiewics in Milwaukee since their mother died in an air accident and father Laurance Giles died four months earlier. The ruling states the decision is not based on race and both grandparents and uncle presented strong plans.
