Reply #11: It should not be covered up that although the U.S. Government ALWAYS

extends benefits of food stamps, Section 8 housing, medical treatment, welfare, etc., etc. to Cubans arriving in this country, once they make it here without being caught first, as it's part of the political design to attract Cubans to come here, and these benefits are NEVER offered to anyone else from any other country, even when their lives are threatened, as in Haiti, and during the Contra wars, yet suddenly, from out of nowhere, they pulled the carpet out from under this woman when she started telling her co-workers in Miami that she would like her daughter to live back in Cuba with her father.

She had been left by her new husband, virtually at the airport, and found herself destitute, with NO access to any help from the U.S. government. She has said she didn't tell her relatives back in Cuba because they would never have believed her if she had tried to explain it.

No money, no home (she still has no money, no home), no prospects. She did the honorable, protective thing in calling the police and telling them she could no longer take care of them, before she made a symbolic gesture in slitting her wrists, and going to the hospital.

This is NOT the way a woman who simply choses to distance herself from her child would act. She was stranded, had nowhere to go, and asked the state to help her.

There are NO PAPERS she signed to turn over custody to ANY AGENCY. Period. She didn't do that. She needed someone to help her daughter.

Her ex-husband is the one who should have the care of his own daughter, just as the mother, herself, hopes and wishes.
