HAVANA -- Cuban officials say they have prepared a special boarding school in Havana to help 6-year-old Eli n Gonzalez readapt to the island if he is returned from the United States.
Arguing that the child has been psychologically damaged during his stay in Miami, psychologist Patricia Ares told >>>>>>>Cuban state television late Monday that a team of teachers and psychologists would help the child recover once he is returned.
That work would be done by psychologists at a special boarding school in the Miramar district of Havana, which would include stays by his teachers and fellow students from Cardenas.<<<<<<<<<
The new school in the Miramar district bears the same name as Eli n's school in Cardenas and is equipped with "all the conditions so that the relatives of the little one, a specialized medical team and 12 fellow students can stay there for the necessary time," the government's Prensa Latina news agency reported.
It quoted teachers as saying the boy would probably be there for at least three months.
Cuban officials argue that Eli n has been psychologically abused by his great-uncle's family in Miami, which has had custody of the child since he was rescued from a shipwreck in late November.
They have especially criticized heavy media attention on the child and the family's release of a videotape showing the child saying he does not want to return to Cuba. [article continues]
