The story happened when his mother died and the decided to take a second, after a while the second wife gave birth to two kids, so along the line, the dad, due to his dad's reason he couldn't give attention this first child from the first. The second wife refuses to feed this child, no support financially and emotional, no medical supports again, and the child had to drop out from school cos of financial supports.

Parents who neglect their duties toward their kids are destroying their future gradually. Parents must consider children education as one of the most important things because through education children will know what is right and wrong.
Children who are neglected must seek help from the caregiver so that they will understand how to deal with difficult issue that may occurs.
