"As it was told to me on that day, Edison was grossly mistreated as a child. He was born in 1981 in Colombia, on the economically challenged southern coast of the South American nation. It would have been a test even if he had the support of a hardworking family willing to provide as best they could. That was hardly the case. Edison was born to a 14-year-old girl with no such intentions."
