A Child Called “It” is a story based on a real life boy’s tribulations with his mothers shocking abuse. When he was younger Dave and his families were considered the “perfect” family. Then, all of a sudden his mother and father started drinking and had problems in their relationship. Dave started getting the worst treatment imaginable. His mother all of a sudden treated him as a nobody or an “It”. His father wouldn’t do anything about it and it made Dave hate him. She did many horrible things to him that he will never forget. He had two other brothers but they didn’t get any of their mother’s harsh beatings or tortures.
David’s mother would starve him weeks at a time without giving him even a morsel of food. He had to steal food from stores and the school to survive. One day he stole hot dogs from the school cafeteria and someone caught him. When he got home his mother made him puke it up and then eat it again. She almost went to the extent of making David eat his baby brother’s feces. Another incident was when David was cleaning the kitchen floor for his mother. She all of a sudden stormed into the kitchen and started yelling at him. “You’
My least favorite character would have to be the father. Yes, the mother was just as bad, but she would beat Dave right in front of her husband and he wouldn’t do anything about it. It made me feel like if he really loved his son he would have taken him away in his arms and never let him return. He kept telling Dave that he would take him away, but it never happened. The main reason that he is my least favorite character is that he was supposed to be the protector of Dave, not a scared little wimp that stood in a corner while his flesh and blood was being beaten.
The way that Dave described his mother was actually pretty shocking. He didn’t describe her with as much venom as I thought he would. If that would have been me I would have described her with so much bitter hatred that it would have been 100 pages longer. In one conversation he had with his mother he said, “I know you love me mother because you brought me into this world, and I love you.” That statement made me a little angry because she had just beaten him up him and he said that. In a way I admired him for saying that because he knew that his mother had to love him in some way.
