When the parents separated, the mother left the him with the father and disappeared up to now, no one knows her where about. When Owen was left with his father, this father also took him and dropped him at his mother's place (Owen's grandmother) and left. Owen is currently staying with his paternal grandmother who is also a peasant and can produce food enough for family consumption but can't afford supporting Owen in school with other orphans and dropped children she live with. Owen is a loving boy who loves playing soccer with friends and would like to become an Electrical Engineer if he gets a chance of education.
