GONG!!!! Wrong answer.
The child was already "taken" from Juan-Miguel and was meant to live here with his mother anyway.

That is life in an alternate reality. Elisibeth Brontons is DEAD. D-E-A-D DEAD. She's not coming back. No electro-shock, no transfusions, no nothing is changing that. She took the boat across the River Styx. She never made it to America.

In the world that we live in, Juan Gonzalez is ALIVE. His son is ALIVE. Whatever he was meant to do, changed dramatically when his mother died. Your shoddy thinking is a shallow rationalization to prevent the reunion of father and son and to prevent Juan from asserting his primacy in deciding for HIS SON.

You should note that Elisabeth no longer has any say in our world. Ouija board testimony is not usually accepted in the 11 District Court of Appeals. (Note my careful avoidance of using never. I know enough to know that anything may happen in court.) Nor seances I would wager.

As to your portrayal of the house-cleaner, weekend-sailor, stand-on-the-boat-while-his-cousin-saved-him-from-the-water opportunist, as some grand rescuer mugged by jack-booted thugs, you need to rethink your portrayal. Had the Relatives abetted by this interloper not been DEFYING the LAW, none of that would have been necessary. NONE. Had they such overwhelming concern for the boy he would have been peacefully handed over at the OpaLacka Airport to be returned to his father.

But NO. Their selfish pursuit of the media spotlight, their agenda of spitting on Castro, so blinded them that they risked the boy's safety to make their political statement. They should be ashamed. And so should you for attempting to glorify their wholly selfish motives wrapped in some "-ism" nonsense.
