__A Child Called It__ is an unforgetable story. It is one of the most severe child abuse cases in California's history. A young boy named David was beaten and starved by his alocohlic mother named (Caterina). It all started when he was 4 years old. At first David was considered apart of their loving family. After a while his mother started drinking heavily and was no longer considered a son he was a slave; and then no longer a boy but an "it." His father tried helping him but by that time it was to late and any form of help would make his parents get in a fight and then it would be worse on david. His mother would beat him, to starve him, to stab him and nearly burn him. The only way she would stop is if his father would come home. David's teachers and his nurse all thought he was a bad boy because he would steal food. Little did they know what had happened to him in his home life. When they would ask David questons he would cover up for his mom in fear of what will happen if he told. After several visits to the nurse and survey's of questions. A cop showed up at school for David and that's when his life turned around for him on March 5,1973. ​
