The book I am reading right now is "A Child Called It" in this book there is a young boy named David who used to be loved and part of the family he used to go to the beach with his mother father and his two brothers, but now he is an out cast he is unloved and abused and his mother doesn't call him by a name anymore she calls him It this a boys struggle to live, and to be loved. A Child Called It is based on a true story about a young boy who was physically, emotionally, and mentally abused it is one of the worst cases of abuse. His ordinary world is at his mothers house (the mother as he would call her) where is abused and is forced to undergo his mothers "games" and tortures. He wishes to escape, be free and most of all be loved. He wishes to escape her games in witch she puts ammonia and Lysol together and shoves him in the bathroom so he can barely breath, be forced to lay on the stove or be stabbed and drowned he wishes to escape to a loving neutering family where he will no longer have to deal with this abuse again, but for now he is stuck in this ordinary world of abuse and neglect. " You feed the dogs better than you feed the boy." I thought this quote explains why he wants to leave because it talks about him not being feed ( neglect) and his name not actually being said instesd they call him the boy or it.
