Tell us you have no idea what actually happened. The court ordered the child to be returned to Cuba as his father was there.!!!!! Lmao! How old were you, 6?
His father was under duress. He and the mother both wanted the boy to stay in America. Genius. Or did you think his mom came across on a raft made of trash just to have her son sent back to what she was fleeing?
Elián González's father, Juan Miguel González, pursued legal action within the U.S. legal system to secure his son's return to Cuba. He did not petition a Cuban court; rather, the Cuban government supported his efforts within American courts and through diplomatic channels.
Under duress....you mean like when mommy kidnapped the son and flees the country?
During the crossing, the boat's engine failed and it capsized in heavy seas. Elián's mother and 10 others drowned; Elián and two other adults were the only survivors. So explain the fathers duress, please.
For context, notice the term...partner.....notice not Father.
The Journey: On November 21, 1999, five-year-old Elián left Cárdenas, Cuba, on a small, overcrowded aluminum boat with his mother, Elizabeth Brotons Rodríguez, her partner, and 12 others
Political Career: In 2023, Elián was elected to represent the city of Cárdenas in Cuba's National Assembly. He has stated his goal in office is to help bridge the divide between Cuba and the United States.
Professional Work: He is an industrial engineer by training. He currently works as the assistant director of AT Comercial Varadero, a state-run food import company for the tourism industry
Family!!! Holy shit......just delete the post!!!
Personal Life: Now 32 years old, Elián is married and has a young daughter named Eliz, named in honor of his late mother, Elizabeth.
Ideology: He remains a staunch supporter of the Cuban Revolution.
