Whether the father had custody when the mother was alive - is this important now that she is dead? The mother is dead and the father is alive and wants him. A father has more claim to custody of a child than a great-uncle, I think, under both U.S. law and general morality. This doesn't seem disputable to me.

From what I've read, the father was a devoted father in Cuba. And when the mother left with her brother and Elian, he called Miami immediately to tell relatives there to look out for him. A sign of concern and worry IMO.

Where should a boy whose mother has died be raised - with a father who apparently loves him, though he lives in a poor country ruled by a Communist dictator or in the U.S. with a great-uncle with four drunk driving convictions and a cousin who's continually in and out of hospitals for emotional breakdowns? The father sounds like the least-bad choice to me.
