Spoilers within!   I think A Child Called It is a cautionary tale. A young boy living in suburbia with a mother who is social and appears loving to her children is not necessarily the first picture that comes to mind when we think of an abused child. Learning about the tell tale signs by reading this book is helpful to teachers, neighbors, and social workers who wonder about the care the children in their area are receiving.

This is painful to read, but it is also a thing that many are very ignorant to. I am glad I read it and definitely recommend reading it.

Very sad story... but I loved his courage and I think it is a good thing for people to learn that child abuse is a real issue and it can be prevented/stopped.

So sad to know that a mother could do this to her child! I hate hearing stories like this but it is real! No child should have to endure this!
