In the book A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. From were I left off I have read that David has come out to the police and the child services have been helping him get away from his abusive mother. The court day came and he stood proudly restating what had happened and that he wants to be a warden of the state. David said he felt bad leaving his mother but knew that it would be better for himself. " I fully realized that Mother could not physically harm me." As a child to have to come to terms of leaving his mother that shows his own bravery and the want that he has to get better.
David the main person in the story is very brave and courageous. I know this because even though his mother continued to abuse him he stayed with her. That takes some courage to stay when you're being abused. If I were David I would have told somebody right away. In the text it states that " I can feel the inside of my body begin to shake. For a moment I close my eyes, wishing myself away. In my mind I can see myself walking through the door. I smile inside" This proves that David inside is broken but when he comes back to reality he puts a smile back on.
