Infact at 12 years he was the size of a 6 year old boy.If he didn't obey what his boss said, he would be wipped and chained . One day he wanted to stand up for himself and the other children who have been suffering. So he went to the nearest police station and said that he was being treahted without respect and that he wonted to be free.
