Has anyone read them? It's the most upsetting story I've ever read, but it's really made me admire David Pelzer and child abuse survivors. That is one of the toughest achievements in this world-living and feeling that no one loves you.

Yes i read that a long time ago then read the book he made after that called a man named dave, i think it was. Such a sad story, i saw him on oprah telling, and how he finally forgave his mother. So horrible, had some events like him done to me as well, its hard to face, at least he faced them, wrote a book and is doing well. He even has a son, even though hes divorced.

I read A Child Called It and The Lost Boy. I was so outraged when I read them!

| Ohmagosh! That book is both intriguing and terrifying. It's intriguing because it's really appalling how cruel people can really be, and it's it's terrifying because it isn't fiction - it actually happened. |
