premise: ''This is child abuse and mistreatment, what they're doing to this boy,'' Gonzalez said on CBS's ''60 Minutes.'' ''The way they're abusing him, turning him against his father ... he's suffering more here amongst them than he suffered in the sea.''
  Gonzalez said he didn't believe a much-publicized video taped at the relatives' home in which his son said he didn't want to go. He has spoken with Elian at least three times since he arrived in the United States on April 6, and he insisted his son wants to return to Cuba.
  ''He's told me so,'' Gonzalez said. The Miami relatives are ``putting a bunch of toys in front of a 6-year-old. He cannot decide for himself. The one that decides for him is me, his father.''

hypothesis: they're abusing him
