"A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family"

"THE LOST BOY", By Dave Pelzer
Pages 30-101

After years of abuse, finally the teachers of his school contacted social services. They noticed the bruises and marks on his body from the beatings. David's new social worker Ms.Gold is a sweet woman. David refers to her as his angel. He told her about his mother and how she would make him eat out of garbage cans and beat him severely. He was then sent to a foster home. He loved it there. He would run and play, and do things he was never allowed to do at "The House". The court asked him if he wanted to stay with his mother or be in foster care. He got the courage and finally said he wanted to leave his mother. I can't wait to see what happens next.

"How could a mother do this to her own child?"
