Usually I think anything Reno does is stupid and sometimes illegal, and I have no
trust in her as our nations top law enforcement official (what a joke that is) but in
this case she did the right thing and handled it well, under the circumstances. Send
the child to Cuba with his father, or subject everyone in this country who thinks he
should stay to the same standards they wish to set regarding their own children. In
other words if some relatives in China take their child in and they want him to come
back home with them, being his parent, and the Chinese relatives say no then abandon
the child to China. I don't think any parent would want the same to happen to them.
