Child Called "It" Continued...

Throughout the book David goes through many new struggles with his mother. He is put in homemade gas chambers made up of ammonia and Clorox and even more little tricks and games, he is continuously starved and he has to sleep on an old army cot in the cold garage. David is not treated how a normal child should be treated, and he keeps being emotionally beaten down. Soon to the point where he thinks it is all his fault and no child should ever feel that way. For David it seems like the only savior he can look forward to is his own father, but after many fights with his mother about him he begins to give up. His savior fails to be there for him and David loses all of his last hopes. To me reading this book makes my stomach turn inside. I come from a great family and I am very thankful for that, and to read a different point of view on how wicked family can be it makes me cry inside. I cannot believe the trouble this young boy goes through. He is very brave and no young boy should lose there childhood innocence that young.

A Child Called "It"

The beginning of this book starts off at a very intense point of view. The dramatic element of it has to do with a young boy and how his mother abuses him. He tries to cover up bruises and makes excuses at school, but the nurse knows what is really going on. Then, the principal and a few teachers come into play and they want to help him get away. The boy, David, sits down with a police officer and ends up tellling him everything about his mom. There is a phone call that is made that makes David nervous and thinks that his mom is going to beat him again, but little does he know that the officer is letting him be free.
