Progress Report on A Child Called "It"

My book is really interesting and sad at the same time. At the beginning the little boy has like a perfect life. His father a firefighter worked for many hours at times he did 24-hour shifts and his mother was a stay at home mom and he had two other brothers. They would always take family trips and vacations and they would have a great time. David’s mother would always have the house clean and would always cook good food. After a while David’s mother started to change she stopped cleaning the house stopped cooking and only got ready and tried to look good while her husband was around it only lasted for a while because after she stopped caring and then did not get ready at all. David’s mother started to blame him for any little thing even if he had nothing to do with it and also if he would be playing with his brothers he would be the only one to get in trouble and would be punished. Then David was the only one who got physically and mentally abused by his mother he was like an outcast of the family because his other brothers would not get the same treatment from their mother. His mother started to give less and less privileges to David he was punished for things he never did and he would also get in trouble when his mother would tell him to look for an item he would ask what item but she would get mad and David just kept searching for the unknown item hoping to find it. Also his mother had dramatic changes like wanting to harm David in many ways at one time David’s mother told him to  get on top of the stove which was turned on and had the burning flame. His arm was burn but he was lucky because he did not have to get on top of the stove. His mother would also beat him a lot and at school they would record his bruises it was like an everyday thing that the school nurse would check him and every time he would have an excuse to tell the nurse but the nurse also kept records of David’s excuses he would give and those excuses were mad up by David’s mother. David wants to be fed but since his mother deprives him of food and so he tries to find many ways of how to get some food into his system he has already stole food from his classmates lunch boxes and got caught so then he went to steal food from another class’s lunchboxes but also got caught. So he planned he would go to the grocery store near his school and steal some food it worked but he hid the box of crackers in the trash can of the boys bathroom and the custodian emptied out the trash before he was able to eat any. At home he would also try to get scraps of food from the trash can but his mother found out o she started pouring ammonia into the trashcan and then he was not even able to feed himself by getting the food that was thrown away.
