1. This appeal relates to the custody of a young boy. He was born in April 1991, and is therefore now six years old. In February, Deputy Judge Saunders awarded custody of him to his mother. His father now appeals, contending that he should have been awarded custody of the boy. It should be emphasized that this was a case in which the welfare plans presented by two loving and devoted parents were both capable of providing a secure and happy home for the boy.
