In the book " A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer, so far I have read that the main character David is only nine years of age and is living a life of regret and shame. Though he has no reason to, his mother is making him believe that he is worthless and a piece of garbage. Davids father isn't as bad but he lets the mother abuse him until David is almost knocked out by the pain. This book is nonfiction, it is based on his life growing up, he has other books after this one. One day David gets fed up with all the painstaking beating and just left one day. He ended up going into town on a late night and going into a bar or pizza place. People in the restaurant were surprised he was there because it was late. So of course the called the 5.0. That same night he was taken home by his dad and as we can assume he was beat when he got home.
One of the tough questions was when he questioned himself about leaving his family. Would he get caught? Would he die? Can he survive? These were things running through his mind, he wasn't really sure what he had to do to survive. David always though to himself maybe ill do better with out my mother and father, I was never really wanted. If any child feels like that they should really seek help from a trusted adult, anyway back to the topic that was one of David's toughest questions that he made to himself.
