Whatever your opinion about Juan Miguel, right or wrong, cowardice is not grounds for terminating parental rights, nor is his decision not to come to the US, but instead to demand the return of his son to him. He had been told in January by Doris Meissner (INS Commissioner) that Elian belonged with him and would be returned by Jan 14. The Cuban government expressed concern that Juan would be detained here if he came in an extended legal battle. Their assertion was that the child should be returned to Cuba. Period. It sounds as if at some point, they began "watching" Juan. However, it also sounds as if Juan did not want to come here. Whatever we may think of him as a father for that, it is still not grounds for losing custody.

What is the source for this "5 minutes from a deal" information announced on WABC? Was it some caller or idealogue guest who has an axe to grind? Do they have proof that there was a deal and it was sincere? I don't believe everything I hear on the radio. Why did they need a deal anyway? How hard is it to turn a boy over? You set a time and a place and turn the kid over. Juan didn't come, because Castro wouldn't let him leave the country. I think Cubans should be free to travel where and when they want. But, they need to get rid of Castro if they want to do that. But, that's their problem, not mine. Whatever, I'm back to making money in the stock market. I hope Juan and Elian have a wonderful life together, and Castro enters the history books before Elian enters high school.
