A Child Called It... Have you read these books?

That was a horrific story. I read it years ago and it literally made me sick. David Peltzer is amazing though, to have come through that and made a good life for himself. His mother was clearly mentally ill, not to excuse her behavior, but his father could and should have done something. IMO he should have taken all the kids and left her, had her arrested, hospitalized, whatever it took. I think both parents should have been held criminally responsible. I never read his 3rd book, but I would like to at some point.

this is one amasy story that i have ever read. i realy enjoyed readying.i has introdused to this book through my adoptive parents. its was one eye opening books to read.

Yes I have read the book and found it to be a very powerful, potent and profound book, it was horrific what he went through under the tyranny of his mother and yet he walked away without bearing a grudge and he became a success! Now if that isn't a remarkable story that makes you think. Yes I agree how can someone do this to their own flesh and blood it makes you feel sick and go cold inside. A lot of other people would have been in an asylum now, definitely a fantastic book which I highly recommend, certainly puts your own life in a different perspective.

ive read the first book and when i was done reading it, i made me wanna go after the mother and beat her up myself! and if i was her husband i would have stood up to her or even worse beat the crap out of her for beating my kid! im just surprised that the father didnt do anything to the wife or even help out his own flesh and blood! this book just makes me feel sick and angry to see that there are actually people doing this to their own kids and no one is saying anything! i honelstly feel davids pain!
