"By now it's all a distant memory to a ten year old."
I'm not sure, the kid almost died at sea and had a gun stuck in his face. I think that stuff probably stays with you, he was old enough to remember it.
I'm sure his dad loves him, that I will say. And I know that that commie *ss-kisser Clinton (wow, excuse me! but I won't take it back) totally screwed this up. What did he think was Castro going to invade the USA over this little boy?

Oh, please....
If he loved him, he would have wanted Elian to have a better life and stay in the US.
The guy is a coward, sold out the welbeing and soul of his son, to Castro.
It's like to old story from the Bible, of two women claiming a child. Solomon (?) said, then he'll cut the child in two -- one said that's OK, the other said, she would rather give up any claim to the child, just to make sure the child wasn't harmed. That was the real Mother, who really loved the child.
Elian's Father was nothing but Castro's puppet.
