That is terrible. I just finished reading "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer, who was also abused as a child. It's an amazing book.

this just goes to show about how poor our children service agencies are. they should have gotten a search warrant if they had reason to believe that the child was being abused. In California, Dave Pelzer was abused for many years, because no one would step in. If a child goes to school like most children in child abuse cases do, authorities should step in immideility. this should have never happened for so long.

I just got done reading "A Child Called It." This book absolutely broke my heart. I just don't understand how a mother could do that to her son. This child at a young age showed courage that I haven't shown yet at 17. I don't think I could ever be as brave as him. I think that someone should've stepped in way early on. No child should have to go through that for as long as he did.

i just got done reading the book"A Child Called It" by Dave Plezer. And it just hurt me! This poor boy is badly abused and no one helps him. It is horrible! While reading this book i just wanted to jump in it and give that boy a huge and take him away. I cant even believe that this mother can even go to bed at night doing the things she did. She is one of the worst mothers i have heard about!This book made me think differently the way i think of food and my attitude towards others. For the kids who have delt threw this in there childhood i just have to say the are the bravest of us all.

I read A CHILD CALLED IT. I cannot believe this
woman got away with all that she did. She could have ended up killing him. The worse part is she
did it to another one of hers after David was taken away. I think she deserved the death penalty.

Some people said how they were surprised no one stepped in.
well in the 70's child protective services wernt as good as they are now.

those who say she deserved the death penalty: She died 16 years ago. and dave forgave her read his self help books)
