I've finished reading the book "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer. The last few chapters are very sad but also very good. The part of the book that bothered me most is after all the abuse that Dave suffered. It appeared that someone in authority had found out about it and was going to visit the family at their home. Before this happened. Dave's mom sat him down and basically told him how sorry she was, told him she loved him, and told him she wanted to be a good mom. It shocked me that Dave actually fell for that. But at a young age maybe anyone would. It made me feel very sad for him when I realized it was all basically a prank. Finally, the authorities did rescue Dave and this book ends with him being taken from his horrible home and situation.
