David James Pelzer (born December 29, 1960)[1] is an American author, best known for his book, A Child Called It. Pelzer is the son of San Francisco fireman Stephen Joseph Pelzer (1923 - 1980) who was of Austrian and Irish decent and Catherine Roerva Christen Pelzer (1929 - 1992) who came from a Mormon family.
Questions have been raised about Pelzer's works and their authenticity.[2][3] In "Dysfunction for Dollars," Pelzer's younger brother, Scott Pelzer, is quoted as saying, "David wasn't ostracized from the family; he was very close to me and Richard. We were the Three Musketeers. Mother though changed that fast. She started to abuse Dave at the young age of 4 till 12, when he was finally saved by a teacher who reported his case to CPS (child protective service). Dave was then put in a foster home, and at 18 joined the military. He now has a son who he loves. He has dedicated his life to helping others to help themselves. '"
Supporting Pelzer's story is schoolteacher Athena Konstan of Salt Lake City, who wrote, "In my 31 years of teaching, David Pelzer was the most severely abused child I have ever known."[4]
His brother, Richard also supports his story, and has written a book himself, A Brother's Journey, which chronicles his own abuse.[5] he has also written a true account of his own brothers lifestyle.
