Most people in favor of Elian's return to his father must believe that Juan Miguel is a fit and caring father. Furthermore, if these people genuinely care about his well being, they have to believe that Cuba's not a bad place to raise a family. As long as he has his father, young Elian will be OK. Let's take a closer look at the Country where Juan Miguel Gonzalez wants to raise his son and then decide if this is really a place where a fit and caring parent would raise a child.

Each year the State Department and Human Rights Organizations continue to blast Cuba for Human Rights violations. Cuban citizens including children who voice

Audience Analysis: This paper was written for those in favor of returning Elian Gonzalez to his father and ultimately Cuba. The purpose is to have these people rethink their stance on the issue by introducing facts and thoughts that the majority of the press failed to introduce. Most of the people for whom this paper was written used parental rights as the reason they supported Elian's return to his father. I will argue against the parental rights issue as it applies to this case. In addition, I will present more evidence in support of keeping Elian in the United States.

This is the life Elian's father wants for him. Is this not a form of child abuse? What if a parent in this country wanted their child to go to a paramilitary camp for kids. Maybe a place where kids would be punished for having pictures or stories glorifying the enemy they are being trained to hate. If they in anyway voiced their opposition to their leaders views they would be subjected to further punishment or treated as outcasts by those around them. If a parent in this country subjected their child to this form of abuse, there would be a large outcry to have the child taken from his or her parents. This is the life Juan Miguel Gonzalez wants for his son. Yet in the name of parental rights, most Americans want Elian to return to Cuba with his father. Judge Edmondson, who presides in the Atlanta court that heard the Gonzalez case, bought up the conditions in which Elian would have to live, twice calling the Castro Regime "a communist, totalitarian state." Furthermore, he compared Elian to children who were denied medical care by their parents for religious purposes. I hope that most Americans have no idea of what Cuba is really like. Because if they do, and still want Elian returned to his father, they are advocating child abuse.
