JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I just found this in Twitter and I need to know if anyone has heard of this. Apparently this is an accusation of child sexual abuse or am I missing something. Is this for real or made up? Is he adopted or or has he just been "living" with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for 6 years. He is currently 19. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/06/18/rep-matt-gaetz-reveals-adopted-cuban-son-after-clash-with-democratic-colleague/ Queens, we must get to the bottom of this.

stevana229 1,916 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 he most likely legally adopted him for the pure fact of rubbing it in democrat's faces as a "see, I'm not racist" kinda thing. good for his "son" though. I'm sure he has a good life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just clarifying that adult adoption exists and is a legitimate process. I'll leave the Trump style "apparently people are saying he's a murder and sexual abuser" speculation to you.

It was just all lumped in the same tweet I stumbled upon. While reading the back and forth with Gaetz and Cryer. My OP clearly asks if it's true and the info I have research has been on the boy. Mostly because the other claim was so ridiculous I didn't even bother with it. I just been trying to make sense out of a confusing story. Why do you feel the need to treat everyone with disdain? I wasn't even mean to you when I responded.

gabeoz 7,915 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think its worth pointing out that the entire story doesnt make sense. From the story about where his family is (His birth family has been living in Florida, not Cuba), to how long Gaetz has supposedly had him to how why he even has him. As recent as 2016ish(? I cant remember, something like that) he was with his birth family and on social media commenting under his family posts, with Gaetz no where in the picture. Nothing about it adds up.
