When a friend commented to me about this incident involving a teenager from the eastern Cuban city of Bayamo, I was left stunned. I quickly began searching on the Internet to find what was being said about the girl, Lilian Ramirez Espinosa, who was only 12 years old. Thinking about my two daughters, each detail that I discovered concerning the police investigation turned out more painful than the previous one.
The mere thought of one of my little girls entangled in a case of pedophilia or child pornography cut me to the core. Did the girl die from respiratory arrest due to the consumption of alcohol and narcotics forced on her by the degenerate pedophiles, or was she overcome by the toxic effects of gases inhaled in the trunk of the car in which she was later transported for burial? Did she die from suffocation after being buried alive, or did one of the Italians choke her with his own hands in an act of desperation?
Just like me, many people will wonder: Why are the Cuban authorities submerged in total silence? I thought they would have learned this from the more than two dozen deaths β resulting from negligence β of elderly people at the Mazorra Psychiatric Hospital last year. Or could it be that discussing the issue will give the Yankee enemy ammunition for defaming the revolution?
Or are they simply afraid that coverage will immediately put them on the spot? I will never understand silence in the face of a circumstance that not only must be combatted but must also be thoroughly reported on so that the Cuban public knows that situations like these occur in many provinces. In this way fathers and mothers will be made aware that not all tourists who visit us come to enjoy their vacations or do business β some come here solely and exclusively to practice prostitution, especially with children.
