You want an answer, lady? Try looking in the mirror! You and your family refused all peaceful options. You left them no choice! More so, Elian was not your child and he was not an orphan! It's YOUR FAULT this happened!

His father was in Cuba. Elian was not your child. Drama Queen.

He hung out with Fidel on an almost regular basis. That's fucked up. His dying mom did not want that. She definitely died in vain. We said, fuck you dying lady, you're welcome, America.

I love America just like everybody else BUT Elian belongs with his Father the Government did the right thing...

That kid wasn't your son. He needed to be with his father. As simple as that. You got yourselves into that situation.

You're very ignorant. His mother risked her life and his life to get away from Cuba. She died for him to reach American soil! Him being in Miami, was where HE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE AND STAY!!!

His mother (r.i.p.) is not here to confirm that. For all we know that boyfriend of hers may have forced her to get on that boat. Also, Elian missed his dad and wanted to be with him. Even if his family had remained in America I'm sure he wouldn't have cared, as long as he was with his dad

His mother was stupid. The Speedy Gonzalez family are all stupid. Alien Gonzalez is happy being with his father and even said he wants to speak with his aunt and American relatives but they don't want to speak with him.

DITTO!

The very picture of hysteria

He's not an orphan, Marislyesis. No matter what country he came from, he's not your child!

Marisleysis admitted years later it was a mistake keeping Elian away from his father. Today she has no interest in seeing Elian even though he wants to come to America and visit his relatives.

What the fuck was there to negotiate? The father was alive and wanted him back but they refused.

These relatives were just doing this for worldwide attention. Elian is not only their child, he's not an orphan either. And these people rejected Janet Reno's offers for a peaceful resolution. They left her no choice.

shes trying so hard to cry but not a single tear

The federal courts decided that he should be with his father, therefore she should have taken him to his father. In that picture, the INS agent's finger was not on the trigger and the gun was pointed away from Elian and Donato, yet Donato tried to say that the gun was pointed at his head. He was going to milk the publicity as long as he could. Look at those crocodile tears.

Her and her father had to be charged for kidnapping and confinement of that 6 years old it is unusual they got away from it . They committed a serious crime .

Cut her some slack. The only way for her to keep her blabbering yap on the screen was to keep the kid here as long as she could.

If she was Elains mom, and they snatched him for no reason, yeah, people should do something, however the kids fathers rights trumps all her arguements :)

How dare u try and take a innocent child from his father he wasn't your son u had no right to take him I think u just want the attention Miami Cubans had always had their own agenda it's because of this the us and Cuba have struggled to form good relations

Inform yourself prior to opining. The Gonzalez family was summoned by government officials to pick up the child who had been found alone in a raft in the ocean by an American fisherman.

Putting the politics on the side, when mom is missing the custody goes to the father a world law. All this is because Ellian's father like any other father wanted his son and Castro as always took advantage of it.

This is one annoying broad. Hope she finally grew up and realized the error of her ways.

The fisherman said last year the family interests were different from Alien Gonzalez. They made money from him. They used him. After Alien went back, the media attention was gone and the family went back to being a quiet family.

So dramatic.

Nobody loved Elian as much as her. His case was the only way she could keep her blabbering yap on the TV screens.

A NUT CASE!!!

Where did you get? #askingforafriend

i have always felt that it was morally reprehensible for the right-wing leaders of the Cuban exile community to use the plight of the then-five/six year-old lad as a means to rekindle their longstanding political feud with Fidel Castro.

I was hoping at the time his father could have been given citizenship to the United States, but you know that would have never happened.

Apparently Juan Miguel Gonzalez was offered a Green Card with a pathway to U.S. citizenship, but he turned it down to live a privileged (By Cuban standards) honorary Cuban citizen life in Castro’s Cuba🇨🇺.

Why are they reading from a teleprompter?

While I agree the Child should of been with his father. I do think excessive force was used. Quite traumatic

@@emmanuelespataro3139 With all due respect, i strongly disagree. The plight of then-six year-old Elián ought never to have been made into a political football to be willfully exploited by the right-wing Cuban exile community as a means to rekindle their longstanding feud with Fidel Castro. That said, i simply could never endorse the Cuban government's systematic stifling of political dissent.

The late Elisabeth Brotons ought to have consulted with her ex-husband as to the whereabouts of their son when she accompanied her boyfriend named Lázaro Munero on the extremely perilous journey through the Florida Straits. indeed, Brotons went to extraordinarily great lengths to humiliate her ex-husband Juan Miguel González through underhanded means.

It's been some years since this happened. Every time I see this story it reminds me why not to vote ever again for a democrat. The community and the family was played by the Cuban government and the Clinton administration played right into it. It was a victory for the Cuban government. This was never about the little boy or his father. This was about a political victory for the Cuban government over both the US government and the Cuban exile community. Sad story but the best thing to have done would have been to call the dad and tell him we've taken good care of him, call off the Castro dogs and come and get him, sit down with us and meet with us in our home over a loving family dinner. But we all know the Cuban government would never have allowed that. The risk of defecting was too high if the dad, his new wife and new child had all been allowed to actually visit the family in their Miami home. They were never even allowed even off the plane, the kid was delivered to the plane and the plane took off shortly thereafter. He was delivered like a Pizza to the communist regime. The family and the community were played.
