child called it
The rage, isolation, loneliness, and pain felt by child abuse victims becomes glaringly apparent. ... However, his mother unexpectedly transformed into a monster, venting her anger and rage on her helpless child. ... However, all this was not enough to break the young child’s spirit. ... I wanted to learn about David Pelzer’s childhood and see how far child abuse really goes but on top of that, I wanted to know how child abuse could be prevented before it occurs. Before reading this book, I knew very little about child abuse. Originally, I thought child abuse was simply a slap on the head and not a major crime. However, now I am aware of the extent of child abuse and what victims experience. Although I am still very perturbed after reading about the tortures and violent “games”, I am comforted and inspired by the fact that the author survived the whole ordeal and is out to educate and inform people of the dangers of child abuse.
