International iPod Incident

Confiscating his iPod was the last straw:

A South Florida teenager has joined the ever-growing number of Cuban migrants --but in the opposite direction most of his fellow islanders travel.

Alfredo Diaz, 14, flew to Havana via the Bahamas last week after using his father's credit card to buy a plane ticket over the Internet, the father said Tuesday. The boy had told his father he wanted to visit home after some troubles at school. He has lived with his father in the U.S. for six years, but is now back with his mother in Cuba.

The father said the boy was also upset over his aborted candidacy for class president, which ended after he was accused of casting ballots for himself in the name of his friends. Diaz punished his son --canceling his computer privileges and confiscating his iPod.

In a reverse-Elian, the father's asking U.S. officials to help him get the boy back.
