How Elian Gonzalez Brotons Ended Up in America
This web site has not been authorized by any government or group. The purpose of this page is to express what I believe to be the truth and facts behind the controversy over Elian Gonzalez Brotons.
In brief, Elian Gonzalez Brotons was one of several persons migrating on a boat from Cuba to the United States of America. Along with him, amongst several other people, were his mother and a male friend of hers. Unfortunately the boat came upon rough seas, only three of the original 14 persons on the boat survived. Elian Gonzalez Brotons' mother was amongst those who perished, but he survived on an inflated tube with the help of another rafter. He was found on Thanksgiving day by two cousins off of the Southern Florida coast. Elian Gonzalez Brotons then finally completed his treacherous voyage when he was brought on to the shores of the United States of America.
This was however, only the beginning of Elian Gonzalez Brotons' story. Shortly after his arrival a custody/citizenship battle began between his relatives in Miami and those in Cuba.
