By:David Pelzer
David is a lonely and exhausted boy that is living with his evil mother that always beats him. It describes David's actions of getting freed from his mothers evil grasp. David is a child that has a family with a lot of difficulties. His mother used to always give him a lot of chores to do in a certain time limit, if he did not successfully completing the chores in the time limit she strike him in an angry way. The one place the child feels safe is at school,but even at school he has his share of problems. For instance, one of his teachers spotted the bruises and sent him up to the nurses office. There the nurse examined the wounds and wrote a statement. The nurse was worried so she contacted a higher authority, the principle. The principle was about to call David's mother, but David started to cry and beg him not to call his parent. So the principle called a police officer to come and analyze the problem. When the police officer arrived he gave David some lunch and tried to talk to him. Then the officer called David's mother and told her he was taking David to a juvenile department. It turned out that the officer took David outside of Daly City and told him he was free.
The family was ecstatic and calm before the mother changed her attitude. The family used to always go to a little place in the woods each summer vacation. They use to either go camping in a cabin or go see the Russian River. David's mother used to set up a picnic basket the night before for the trip. In the morning everybody gets up and go out to the Russian River. They would return in the evening. Once they come home the mother goes back to cleaning the house. She also will cook a meal for David and his brothers, but when dad is home she cooks an even bigger dinner. She also like to design the living room and dinning room. The whole family admires he creativity and passion.
The relationship between David and his mother is a rocky one....
