A child is neither an idea nor a symbol.If a kid's great-uncle and his father are in a custody dispute, the dad gets the kid. Parental rights trump everybody's politics.
IIRC, his mother and father were divorced and his father hadn't been part of his life up till he got to Florida. The father was just castro's tool.
Wow. Did you get "Useful Idiot" tattooed on your forehead, or is that an uncanny birthmark?
When a mother dies trying to rescue a kid from a life of Hell, the courts usually take into account the fact that the kid was in a life of Hell.
Your understanding of custody law is 100% wrong. Courts are obliged to consider the welfare of the child, with the normal presumption that, in the absence of other evidence, a father is a better relationship than an uncle.
Now, if you think that child is NOT being made a symbol by Cuba, why are his alleged letters being read to the public? Or, more to the point, what special qualifications did his father have to serve in a national legislature? He is being rewarded for his loyalty to his godfather, crime syndicate boss Fidel Castro.
Oh, and welcome to Free Republic.
I do hope you'll enjoy your brief stay.... Troll.
