Dave Pelzer endured severe abuse and mistreatment from his mother during his childhood, including physical and emotional abuse, deprivation of basic needs, and isolation. His experiences are documented in his memoir "A Child Called 'It'." Despite his traumatic upbringing, Pelzer was able to overcome his past and become an advocate for child abuse prevention.
he went through alot of things he was abused very badly he would live in the cellar his mentally disturbed alcoholic mother would beat him severly with hard objects such as brooms,paddles,pans,basicly anything that could hurt him and leave marks she even stabbed him once when he was about 8 yrs of age she would try to burn him like putting his face to the stove and she would hit him so hard she would throw him across the room or make him hit his head on the tile counter to wear he could have basicly died from trauma to the head and he ws touched by and angel because he is still with us today and he has faced death many times as a child and his brother Richard too even faced there abusive mother like when david was finally saved from his teachers and a police officer Richard beame the victim of this awful woman who did these things to them and what i want to know is why did david only get this treatment.
Dave had to sleep in the garage on an old army cot. His mother would make him drink spoonfulls of ammonia at a time. A few times Catherine left him locked in the bathroom with a bucket of ammonia and Clorox mix that filled the whole room with smokey mist. He went through thrashes to his head. I don't know how any mother can do that to kids.
