This is a very sad story. Isn't there a new law for sexual preditors? These young kids should receive justice, for what these two perverts did to them.

Peace,

the question is, what can we do to help?? where do you start when the whole world is so messed up and already gone so horribly wrong?? what do you do??

you start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can. i hope you all will do that.

I agree. I think its really sad when cases like this occur, but you can't do much about it. Its not like you can stand there by the children with a big stick and hit anyone who goes to harm them.

I think that it's important to tell those story, and allow the readers to understand that it isn't right to abuse someone else. The story is very sad, and I remember hearing that story when it first came out on the State News. I just hope that the parents has finally learned their lesson, 'cause what they did isn't right.

Thats terrible, I wonder why they were so cruel to the boys and not so bad to the girls. I am sure they will get what coming to them, no jury would let people like that go free.

Dude. I wish I hadn't read that, I feel sick.
F'ed up freaks.

MAN THAT IS BAD! THOSE POOR CHILDREN! THIS KIND OF THING MAKES ME WONDER WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH THE PARENTS MIND.

I nauseated when I read about the maggots. This is an indescribable crime, which deserves an indescribable punishment.

That is disturbing.

I cant say its the worst ive heard, but close too

Oh man.. so sad and scary

Omg, Thats sad & sicking..

When I was voulnteering at the hospital i met this little boy who was about 2 years old. He was so black and blue it looked like he was in a car accient. The nurse told me his mother did.

A month later I went to a room to read to this little 3 year girl. And she looked healthy and happy with a big smile.. The nurse later told me She was beaten by her foster mother for wetting the bed so bad that she was in a coma for 3 weeks...

It was so sad dealing with these 2 cases, I just wated to cry. But like they say if other people don't tell the police will never know and soon it will be took later, police cant go door to door seeing if children are being abuse they need are help. And many times people are more worried about drug bust, etc to even see how many kids are killed my child abuse every year :In 2003, an estimated 1,500 children died of abuse and neglect-an average of more than 4 children per day.

SAD!

I read A Child Called It as well. I'm surprised that he survived, let along survive well enough to make something out of his life. I've heard that children are influenced by their family. If you got abused when a child you'd think it was ok to abuse your own child. It just keeps getting worse.

I read that as well, it was a horribly sad story. Did you ever read the book he wrote after that? i don't recall what it was called, but it was about his experiences in foster care after they took him away. we never finished it, but we got through in class was also very sad.

It's called "The Lost Boy" there's also a third one called "A Man Named Dave" if you'd like to continue reading about his life. His younger brother, Russel, also wrote a book about his experiences with The Mother called "A Brother's Journey"

Okay, I just joined this group and I wanted to inform all who are active in this "society" about who I am. My name is steven and David Pelzer (author of "A Child Called 'It'") grew up where I live. I've gone through 4 cases of child abuse myself and survived. I'm only 17 but I'm devoting my time to doing research and doing everything I can to help people like Dave Pelzer and myself. I think people who abuse their children shouldn't be allowed to have children at all. That's just my opinion, if you don't agree that's fine, too. I'm not here to offend anyone, just to give my 2 cents and try to help as many people as I can

It's so sad that so many children get abused.

What??? How sick!!!

eww, how scary.

Ick, how discusting. How can people hurt innocent children? Especially adopted, you have to go through a lot to adopt, and thats gross that they would harm them.
