Unfortunately we are not all of one mind on this issue. Soror pearlsNivy, I must agree with Soror Discogoddess. I agree with you both on certain issues. NO child should be exposed to the guns and violence that this young man has been exposed to over the past 5 months. I am certainly NOT a proponent of the Communist form of government and I do believe that if this child were raised in the US he would have more opportunities.
However, I believe that if this child were of African decsent the issue would have been settled A LONG TIME AGO. We would never have heard of the issue.
Yet despite all these "political" issues the one thing EVERYONE SEEMS TO FORGET is that this child has a father! It is the right of the FATHER to decide where this child should be raised. It is the right of the FATHER to decide by whom he should be raised. Also, the Miami relatives broke the law. They recieved Court Orders to return him to his father. Had they adhered to the law, then this mornings actions would not have been necessary and they would now still be able to communicate with the child.
If this child had been an American citizen born in this country...we would all be up in arms about seperating a child from his/her parent.
I must also apologize for this long reply, however I doubt anyone can express thier opinions on this issue in small, short sentences.
Much ivy luv
