Elian's Mother was never married to Elian's Father, he was paying no child support and hardly ever saw the kid. He was NOT acting as a Father, when the kid was nearby.

He only developed an interest in the kid, after Castro ordered him to, when Elian was here.

And he was never proved to be the father, which should/would have happened if he was legally granted custody, according to the law, instead of being torn from the arms of friends at gunpoint.

BS, I repeat Juan called from Cuba to Miami to make sure Elian got there safely, most men don't totally disavow their kid even when they get divorced or move on in Juan's case.
