Jr comes from a normal family with four
siblings he's the only one with this
condition and doctors still don't know
exactly why when he was born from a
young age when did you realize that he
would stop growing Jewish mother born
him normally just like the normal parent
or a child and then the moment jr. was
delivered they noticed that it's just
the size now this is just this interest
born he has a speech defect and has
trouble standing on his own and on top
of his conditions jr. grew up in a poor
family his father earned two dollars a
day as a blacksmith which was barely
enough to feed a family of six they used
to only eat dried fish and bananas and
he couldn't afford to see any doctor
until he was eight years old they went
to the doctor at his age eight years old
with no money and it's far away from the
ECP but then when jr. turned 18 he was
awarded this Guinness World Records
certificate and that's when things for
him and his family began to change he
became a national sensation being
interviewed by every media outlet and
lending him and his family a job at a
local park and a new house right here at
