Cubans on social media asked for help to locate the relatives of an elderly man who is wandering disoriented in the streets of Bauta.
According to a Facebook post made by internet user Raúl Alfaro, the man was seen walking along the so-called wide street, apparently lost and looking for the bus stop that would take him to Bauta.
However, his speech was incoherent, which raised concerns among the residents of the area. Surprisingly, the elderly man's son, Frank Damian Rodríguez Zas, replied to the post and said that he is out of the country.
He explained that his father had been living with his granddaughter for several months, but decided to leave the house claiming that the girl's mother mistreated him, something that the son categorically denies.
"I talk to him every day, but he doesn't want to stay there and let himself be helped," said Rodríguez Zas, adding that his father expressed the desire to move to a foster association in San Antonio, managed by Kisicuaba.
Due to his situation, the son requested to contact the local police, pick up the elderly man, and transfer him to the shelter where he can receive the necessary care.
"I am the only child, but I am in a complicated situation and I cannot help him directly," he explained.
The case has generated debate on social media in the context of the migration crisis that Cuba has been experiencing for several years.
With the emigration of more than half a million people in three years, the majority being young, many elderly have been left unprotected.
A user criticized the situation and reminded the importance of honoring and taking care of parents.
The user also emphasized that, regardless of mistakes or misunderstandings, it is essential to take care of parents in their old age.
