Plot Summary
The book called "A Child Called It" is a book about on of the most severe child abuse cases in California. The story involves Dave Pelzer who was brutally beaten and starved by his mother. The main reasons why she would beat her son was because she was a very unstable and an alcoholic.
As time went on, David's mother would start to play "games" with him. These so called "games" were not ordinary games that anyone would play. These games never involved anything fun, and sometimes left David nearly dead. In order to survive these games, David had to find ways to stall his mother. This sometime worked, because if he stalled her long enough, his father would come home and his mother would have to stop.
Throughout his childhood, Dave was starved, usually only eating leftover scraps from the table. He slept on an old army cot in the cold basement and never really had nice clothes. When David was feeling bad or was hurt, he mostly turned to his dad. But, his dad soon would leave him which in turn left him with no one to turn to. Only his dreams of someone taking care of him and loving him kept him alive.
