I haven't finish it yet but I am really shock by the abuse that this man went through. That his mother beated him in such a horrible way. She put his hand over the stove to watch him burn. Then tried to put him on top of it so that his whole body could burn. Then there was another time where she tried to make him eat s**t! This is just really hard to believe. Seriously what is wrong with the mother? What made her snapped and treat the others so well? She even barely fed the boy. I am just shocked that people do this to their kids.... What kind of people really does this?
Mentally ill ones. Very mentally ill.
And there is at least one other book after A Child Called It but I'm not sure on the title. In fact, there may be two others...

That book made me feel horrible for days. I just wanted to go give Dave Pelzer a hug sweatdrop
Yeah, there're more after that, I think the next one is called The Lost Boy.
I've heard of that series. It's so sad crying The things people go through. It really makes you realize what kind of sick people there are in this world and how many people are suffering.
My friend/s have read it. I read the blurb and they even told me the story. I was full on like 's**t, what the hell is wrong with the mother?!'. There are a few stories like this, I always get them mixed up but I think it continues to "The Man Called David" of something sweatdrop
The book was so sad i felt reallt bad....... I hated his mother....but he showed alot of courage to tell other people in the world what he went through

I am further along the book, the mother MADE HIM SWOLLOW AMMONIA!! While the father watched the 2nd time. She made him nearly drown in cold water, and freezes him to death. He went without eating for 10 days STRAIGHT!! She even stabbed him "accidently" in the stomach then patch him up to do the dishes. While he was bleeding all over the place and the father turned a cold shoulder to him. Again I am horrified by this. I am not even saying everything that the mother did. I just can't believe this. How did this boy not kill himself? Where did he find the courage to live? He is really really strong although he put himself down alot. But who could blame him? The mother brainwashed him to believing he was nothing. She even called him a "It"(hence the title) which he really took hard. After he tried so hard to please her.

Dude, I got done reading the book and I can't believe the father left without David. After all that, all the promises. David has like no hope left. After the mother treated him sooooo good. She then acted like a b***h. I can't believe stuff like this really goes on. It's just so sad. How his brothers treat him like he wasn't even there. How his mother stabbed him. Then made him do the dishes. How she barely feed him. Made him eat his own puke. Stuff like is just horrible.
Child Called It made my friends and I cry. It just makes me think about how good my life really is.
ya i heard about that, gaw it wasn't a very nice book was it
I cried many times during those 3 books. cry I had to stop reading them on the bus because people would give me funny looks. xp
But yeah, what his mother did to him was disgusting and horrifying. And to think it's based on a true story. sweatdrop He's a strong man. 3nodding heart

Yeah it was really sad. I couldn't believe anyone would do those things! I read it in Walmart.

If you think what he went through was bad, you have no idea that other kids go through worst situation like that. My mom was a social worker for over 32 years and she told me if you think this book is extrmemly, you will be completely shocked at the cases she had. Like she told me these 2 abanded kids, one of them was about 4 months old, and the other one was 2, and their parents left them their for 2 or 3 days, and the doctor found out that the parents stuck a pin into the baby's skin so the diaper wouldn't come off, and sumthing else i can't remember, but it was much more worse that it seems.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to be mothers... I read that book last year, it made me cry so much. T_T
