A Child Called "It"
Thursday September 1, 2005
Written from the perspective of a child, "A Child Called 'It'" offers a chance to see how an abused child may perceive the treatment of an abusive mother. Even though the child abuse that Dave Pelzer endured affected David's self-worth; Dave still had this incredible will to not only survive, but to rise above it all.
Part one in a series of books about Dave Pelzer's life; A Child Called 'It'" is the incredible journey of one boy to escape one of California's worst child abuse cases.

this is one of my favorit books of all time. I just can’t beleive a mother could do something so terrible to her child.
I DON’T KNOW HOW ANY SMALL CHILD COULD HAVE ENDURED THAT KIND OF PAIN. HIS MOTHER SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHO HE IS NOW DESPITE WHAT SHE DID TO HIM TO TRY AND BREAK HIM DOWN FOREVER.
I could not take that if that was my mother…i would have ran away
this was the must sadness book i ever read , i spend the time crying and couldnt undertand how can a mother treat a child like that. she must be very ill but still not justified someting like that. and the father for me he is worst becouse he didnt try to save his child from a very ill mother he never done nothing and he accepted seen his own son be treated like that. he is worst than her becouse she was a ill person he wasnt .
could happen 30 years ago but they should be in jail and other brother be taken from them.
dave is an ex of a mem who doenst do to the other what was done to him it meen he didnt like to be treat like that so he doent treat other the same why. congratulations the normal is treat other worst then was done to us.
this book is so inspiring and touching, it is overwhelming as 2 wut kind of ppl are in this world.
this is one of my favorite books it makes me so sad i cryed alot in this book:*(
please dont do this to your child i mean
you could go to jail or worse:(
please its just bad and i dont like it at all
:(
right now im on the 3rd one i hope everyone knows what happend to him and just think if that was you just go to a better place as this book says my fav part was alot just not the abuseing parts thats the part i hate the most i love this book please read but dont be like that mom. or dad
i cant believe a mother would do this. !
this book definately opened up my eyes on life.
Woow i loved this book.. its really sad but it shows a lot of emotion!
This is one of the best books ever! I believe that Dave truly is an inspiration. How could he take all that all those years?? He is a very strong person! I couldn’t have taken it. Most likely, I would have broken down and told someone.
i feel so bad…
that like really sucks …..
i just like really wish i could do something bout it….
and like i feel ur pain…….!!!!!!
this is a sad book and its not right i feel bad for the boy
If you don’t think this kind of thing is happening here and now you are sadly mistaken folks. What gets to me is there are perfectly wonderful people who desperately want to be parents who are still being turned down for goofy reasons like previous marriages. I am an adoptee myself and would have loved to have any of these several couples for parents. The once divorced man I referenced was left by his first wife because he couldn’t give her biological children…and she gets to be a mother!
Wow the Book Really Made Me think Twice About alot of stuff.
And To Think That I thouqht My Mom Was Mean,
Jus Cause She Wont Let My Boyfriend Come Over.
=’(
Wow.
But i Just Dnt Understand Why She Would Even Do That To Her own Flesh And Blood.
&&Why Didnt He Run Away Or Somthinqq, he
Stayed And Took All the Abuse.
Well i Hope She Goes To Hell For That Cause Its Jus not Riqht!
