A little boy doesn't need freedom. He is controlled by adults in any case. Were he stupidly and heartlessly returned to Fidelia, he would be thrown into Communist schools immediately upon his return. He would be taught that the United States is the root of all evil, and raised to believe that the individual means nothing, the state is everything, and no person is more than a cog in a great social mechanism or cell in a great social organism. Individuality is evil.
Freedom is dangerous.
Thinking for oneself is a crime. And one's highest calling is to promote worldwide Communist revolution. He might be trained in terrorism and sent to the United States to kill anti-Communists, perhaps even assassinate a President of the United States. It happened in Somalia. When a few American servicemen were killed and their bodies dragged thru the streets, the U.S. military ran for home with its tail between its legs.
