Inside her bedroom on Cuba's Isle of Youth, 7-year-old Daviana González prays to be reunited with her mother after more than five years, relatives say. In Camagüey, Marta Daniela Batista, another little girl separated from her parents, is said to suffer from mental health problems.
The girls are children of Cuban medical professionals living in Miami who deserted their posts in various nations where the Cuban government sent them to help spread ideology and earn income for their cash-starved homeland.
But the price for desertion was higher than the families believed possible: The Cuban government is denying the little ones permission to leave, even though they have U.S. visas that would allow them to come here.
''Marta isn't to blame for what her parents did, and yet they punish her,'' said her mother, Melvis Mesa, 42. ``She's just a child, and children have a right to be with their parents. What the Cuban government is doing is a terrible abuse.''
(The truth is Cuba has an evil government. Please pray for these children and a change of heart in the leaders or change of leadership takes place in Cuba soon. Read more on this issue right here)
