I'm not sure this is a proper area for exploration. The boy is with his
father and likely to remain with him.
Any attempt to lay open private lives is rather onerous. To me it suggests
revenge.
Unless she gains custody...and even then, I assume the court would look into
her qualifications but keep any findings private.
I hope we're not at the stage where we have to rent a football stadium and
bring in Jerry Springer to "mediate" the issues...though I have this sinking
feeling we're headed that way.
I think the Miami family is keeping quiet because there are media deals in
the works...books, movies, music, public appearances, lectures ( it might be
interesting see her give a lecture on this at Miami International
University!!), and truthfully they would hurt their cause at this time by
being strident and vocal. Their "cause" may have changed from Elian to $$,
certainly if the lawyers ever expect to get anything out of this. (Elian
survived the sharks in the Gulf, but the land-based ones are gonna get a big
bite out the event somehow)
I think what we have is an otherwise unimportant incident blown into massive
proportions by (a) the Castro hating politicos (b) the press (don't get me
started!) and (c) the lawyers. In a way the family is as much a victim as the
public at large; I think they were egged on into a lot of this by the trio of
influences mentioned, and didn't have the ability to discern it might
backfire, or that a world exists outside Little Havana, which doesn't give
rat's ass about much of what's going on, except that the father is the best
person to deal with his son. Of course, this puts the Cuban-Americans' fight
way out of the picture, and they need to platform to argue their agenda.
(They may have legit complaints, but I want to be sure that the people
pushing this are legit Americans or landed immigrants, and not illegals the
INS didn't happen to catch. If they're Americans, they're "one of us" and
deserve to be heard....throw the rest of 'em back)
