David Pelzers mother was a cruel woman who abused David and his brother Richard. Her name was Roerva Pelzer(aka:Catherine). She died January 1992 in her sleep from a heart attack. She was an alcoholic who had been drinking since age 13. She was brought up in the Mormon community of Salt Lake City. There she would hide in the outhouse during Prohibition to wince down bootleg whiskey. Her parents were divorced, which made them outcasts in that religious community. She was frequently locked in a closet, denied food, and told how despicable she was most of her life. Her own childhood experiences, coupled with her Alcoholism, eventually led her down a dark path of uncontrollable destructive behavior toward her second and third children, David and Richard Pelzer.

Who is Dave Pelzers mom?

The answer to this question is CATHERINE ROERVA PELZER. The book A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave are all books written by Dave Pelzer and are all great books. Also check out his brothers, Richard Pelzer, book- A Brothers Journey. Since Dave got to escape, his mom needed another child to abuse and chose Richard. This is a book about how Richard had to deal with emotional, and physical abuse for a time, then a church family took him in. (David says that in A Man Named Dave)
