The 5-year-old Israeli boy who was the sole survivor of the cable car disaster in northern Italy that killed 14 people is reportedly at the center of a bitter custody battle between his two aunts – one of whom accused the other of kidnapping the child.
Eitan Biran made it out alive when the cable car plunged 20 feet into the side of a mountain near Lake Maggiore on May 24, but his parents, 2-year-old brother and great-grandparents perished.
The orphaned boy, who was released from a Turin hospital in June, has been living with his aunt Aya Biran-Nirko, the Italy-based sister of Eitan’s late father, Amit Biran, 30, the Times of Israel reported.
Gali Peleg, the sister of Eitan’s late mother, Tal Peleg-Biran, 26, has accused Biran-Nirko of kidnapping the boy and preventing him from having a normal childhood, according to the news outlet.
“He was abducted by relatives who don’t know him at all. [Biran-Nirko] was not close to him in any way,” Peleg said at a press conference, where she was accompanied by her husband, Ron Peri, and an attorney.
She that said short visits with Eitan mandated by an Italian court had also left him feeling like they did not want him.

AvE is a well known YT and works on everything mechanical, as a tool maker IIRC. Mines, oil wells, cranes and ski lifts. He knows his stuff.
Here is his review of the accident from two months ago, and he leaves no doubt where the blames lies - with the cable car maintenance people and their management. Especially the management.
Watch out for Canuckistan/machinist potty mouth if the grandkids are around, but I have learned a lot from this guy.
