HAVANA (AP) — The Cuban boy at the center of an international custody battle eight years ago has joined Cuba's Young Communist Union. Communist youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde quotes Elian Gonzalez as saying he will never let down ex-President Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro, who succeeded Fidel earlier this year. Now 14, Elian was 6 when Miami relatives lost their fight to keep him in the United States and he was returned to Cuba in mid-2000 with his father. Elian had survived a boating accident off the Florida coast that killed his mother, who was attempting to get to the U.S. Juventud Rebelde says in its Sunday edition that the boy was among 18,000 people who joined the group on Saturday.

Sad. But it was said when he was returned that kids are basically brainwashed in the schools because they are taken from their parents at 8 I think and they are only allowed visits with them after that. I bet papa Fidel is so proud.

And the way our schools are going, we won't be far behind.

I bet he has joined the masses in hating the USA. He'll likely be back here by way of boat tho...

One wonders......he might be "special" because of his world wide attention and be set for special favors to prove the wonders of communism.

I was glad to see our laws enforced when he was sent back home. What a fiasco THAT was!
