Your idea of "family" and the dictators idea of "family" are very different. There are no "parental rights" in Cuba. Returning Elian to his "father" was a joke. His father has no rights as his son has no rights. The USA was shameful and ignorant to support his return. The Clinton people (Reno included) could not allow Castro to be embarrassed. Castro is their god.
This article says Elian has been forgotten. The writer needs to speak for himself. I will never forget. That poor child lost his free will and liberty that day. To regain it, he must once again risk his life. That is pathetic.

The US was remarkably consistant in his return. The people of the US have always and consistantly supported the familly and there's just no way to convince them or me that returning the child to his father was a bad thing. If his mother had lived then we'd be having a different discussion and chances are the boy would still be in the US.
Like I say, the US system is designed to protect the familly against outside interference from people like you. The state can not go into a home and rip a child away from his parents (in cases where the child is not being abused) because the state disagrees with how he is being raised.
Not one judge in this country will give YOU a voice in the court to say Elian should be ripped away from his biological father because YOU disagree with the father's politcis. And thank God for that.
