A child called "it". A compelling story which never fails to move no matter how many times you have read it. Thanx evonne for lending it to me the story about a young boy's fight for survival under the care of his abusing, alcoholic mother. makes one really think. how can i be eating this when someone halfway around the globe is being deprived of food? how can i be enjoying when someone just a plane ride away is suffering? i look back and i've come to the conclusion that S'pore people are damn pampered. i really hate myself.
steals food to survive. gets the gas chamber torture every now and then. humiliated by own brothers. shunned by friends in school. treated worse than dogs. beaten up by his own mother. empty promises by his father to take him away. living in constant fear and anxiety. that was how david lived his childhood years. sad aint it?
oh well. life goes on.
