Soon after this decision, Florida Judge Rosa Rodriguez gave interim custody of the boy to his Miami relatives until a March 6 hearing. This decision contradicted with the U.S. government ruling that the boy should be returned to Cuba. This story has been on the news for a while now, and it is no wonder that students have started to talk about what they think the government should do. A popular opinion with students is that they think the government should do what the boy wants to do. Another opinion is that the boy should go back to Cuba, where his father is.
Some people also say that it is too hard to tell, so they have no opinion whatsoever.
Personally, I feel that the boy should go back to his father in Cuba, because after all, it is obvious to me that his father cares about Elian very much and he is his biological father. Despite all the fire that has happened in this heated controversy so far, it doesn't look like it will be resolved soon. Let's all hope that Elian receives what he deserves to receive - a loving family, and a great life.
