La canción "Pedofila" de Benny Mardones.

No es tal, se trata de una niña abandonada por su padre y que él apadrina dandole una "Mesada" para que se costeara los gastos paseando al perro, etc.

You still hear "Into The Night" on just about every Adult Contemporary radio station - it's the song that starts, "She's just 16 years old, leave her alone, they said." The song, which has a surprising inspiration, was a hit in 1980, and again in 1989 when a DJ revived it. The song made Benny Mardones a star, which enabled a drug habit that almost killed him. He had it all, and watched it all fall apart.

It was a move to Syracuse that saved his life - they drink a lot of beer and have a good time up there, but it's about as far removed from the Miami party/cocaine scene as you can get. Syracuse has always supported their local musicians, and they embraced Benny. As a disc jockey in the area, I saw him play small theaters to adoring crowds, laying his heart on the stage in very intimate performances. Benny was top talent in this mid-size market, but he had tasted fame and spent the rest of his life trying to find it again. He's a sensitive guy left to wonder what would have happened if things had worked out just a little different: if he had stayed off the drugs, if his record company promoted him better, if Jon Bon Jovi had produced his album like he was going to. It's a battle to keep the what-ifs at bay and reflect on a career that produced one of the most popular songs of all time.

These days, Benny lives in California and battles Parkinson's disease. He served in the US Navy, and in 2011 recorded a new version of the song "United We Stand" for the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. The video was edited by his son, who he raised as a single dad.
