To show just how much child abuse is rising the third study is compared to the second study, which was conducted in 1986.

That is an example of just one of the punishments David Pelzer went through as a little boy. Can anyone even imagine how damaging this would be to a child? Your birth mother, the person who is supposed to love you more than anyone else in the world, is trying to burn you so you can feel what hell is like. The emotional abuse that has to accompany the obvious physical pain is so extreme I cannot begin to understand how anyone could deal with it.

“Well Mr. Ziegler says I should be so proud of you for naming the school’s newspaper…Get one thing straight, you little son of a bitch! There is nothing you can do to impress me! Do you understand me? You are a no body! An IT! You are nonexistent! You are a bastard child! I wish you were Dead! DEAD! Do you hear me? DEAD!” (A Child Called “It”, 1995)

The National Incidence Study did its third survey of child abuse and neglect in 1993, NIS-3. This is the single most comprehensive source of information about the current incidence of child abuse and neglect in the United States. The study used a “Harm Standard” to define abuse and neglect. The standard identified children who were considered to be maltreated only if they had already experienced harm from neglect or abuse.

In the same book Pelzer’s mother says, “If you don’t finish on time, I’m going to kill you!” (A Child Called “It”, 1995)
