“for those persons who say that Elian must be returned to his biological father at all cost, I submit these other arguments. Let us point out that his real father, if he goes back to Cuba, will be Castro. In a Communist state, the government controls the state and controls the lives of the people. Those are the facts. Returning Elian to Cuba after so long in America will doom him to psychological abuse by the Communist regime. Ancient religious tradition from the Talmud, back 5,000 years, cites examples that, under Jewish law, a child must honor a person who teaches his moral and religious values above, above, a parent who does not. Since there are no religious values in Cuba, it follows that Elian could just as well honor his relatives in the United States, here, where they will teach him moral and religious values.”
