Elian Gonzalez faces expert claim of imminent danger
A Miami pediatrician urged the federal government that six year old Elian Gonzalez is being psychologically abused by his relatives and must be rescued. He warned of imminent danger to his physical and emotional well being in a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno and INS Commissioner Doris Meissner. The claim prompted rebuttals from Elian's Miami relatives and Cuban exile pediatricians as the case delays a possible asylum hearing and the plan to reunite him with his father Juan Miguel Gonzalez remains stalled outside Little Havana.
