  • she/he probably wrote this in another language & had it translated into English and that's why nothing is comprehensible. Nice try, though.

  • i dont get why she only beat dave like wtf.

  • you spell like a caveman. unreadable.

  • I have read A Child Called It, one thing I have never understood is why did this Mother and Father change, she seemed so happy and intelligent she put her all into everything cleaning cooking and taking care of the family but then in the blink of a eye she chagnes but WHY

  • @ManTexDal She became sick with Boarderline Personality Disorder, BPD.

  • He is so amazing for giving his child what he never did have!

  • awwwwwwww so poor will if my mom do tat to me i will tell call 911

  • @AndressSchoolGirl Russel was the new Dave. The younger brother that helped the mother when he was little find reasons to punish David became his replacement.

  • @csincali Russel was the pseudonym name given to the younger brother who by the way is named Richard. Dave wanted to protect the privacy of his four brohters so they were ALL given pseudonym names. The only ones whose names are real are his parents, mostly due to them being dead so he was not worried about their privacy.

  • @AndressSchoolGirl Well it's been a while since I read the book so I don't really know everything about it. I think Richard became the new Dave.

  • Excellent choice of song and I love the photos!! Thanks for posting.

  • Ive read the book Its very sad. Can you please tell me whats the name of the book his brother wrote and the authers name?? please thanks.....

  • @thelittlestragdoll

    Oh my God, thank youu! :D

    I was getting upset that once I finish "A man named Dave" I wouldn't have anything else to read about how his family abused him

    I still have "Moving Forward". ... but still :P

    Thank you (:

  • This is the saddest story ever!

    Dave Pelzer is my hero.

    @shiroeni- I agree with you

    God bless...

  • too all of you who are christian or not, it doesn't matter. i can see why he thinks that god doesn't exist and for you who walked in his shoe i bet you all think like him. and don't denied it because you feel it. i know how he feel and i bet all of you to. we all feel his pain, and whoever read the book that feel bad, sad, or even cried are the one who understand the book. but for those who just read like nothing happened, they're missing a big portion of the story. thnx for reading my comment

  • wow ive read 2 of the 3 books the first time i read the first one there were parts that made me cry

  • Best book I have read, ever.

  • Comment removed

  • lol

  • his father ignored horrible abuse that was obvious even to the most oblivious person like my dad did

  • sonng.

  • This song is Mad World

  • i have read the 3 books Tears Came Out when dave met his brother on A Man Named Dave

  • isnt there a pic of his mom?

  • <3 the book. read in in 4 hours. never felt like i wanted to read so much in my life. cried of course at times

    i think im going to read it again. it wont be the same but its a really good book

  • i never read books but i heard about this book and they forced me to read it soo i got it....then i read it and i couldnt stop..i felt bad for him...now i cant stop reading all of his books its soo sad..how can someone do this to there blood

  • how could any one do this to ANYONE? Its sad.

  • how can someone force yu to read the book??

  • Some teachers put this book on a list of assignments that you have to read in 8th grade.

  • The mother should of has everything she done to him done to her and then burnt alive. The dad should of had his back broken and left a cripple since why would he need his arms and legs? he never used them to protect David.

  • haha good point

  • Dave Pelzer is an incredible and brave man. God bless him. Does anyone know what happened to the mum and dad? I haven't read the follow up books yet.

  • they both died..

  • Obviously they both died, if they didn't they would be pretty old now!

  • his father died aged 57 in 1980 of cancer his mother died in 1992 aged 63 of a heart attack in her sleep his grandmother was still alive in 2005 aged96 i dont know if she is still alive

  • they obviously died but im in the middle of reading the series so when i do find out what happens ill tell you

  • Thankyou!

  • i found out his father became an alchoholic and died for obvious reasons and his mother died of old age

  • Ohh i just wish the woman had got put in jail for what she did! But i'm sure she's getting what she deserves in hell.

  • yes i bet she is lol

  • youre so wrong you obviously never read his books his father died of cancer in 1980 and his mother died in her sleep of a heart attack in 1992 his father was just 57 yrs old and his mother was 63 yrs old that is not old age as you presume

  • no no no ok buddy i have read the books ok ive read the whole series so many fricken times alright i know what im talking abuot

  • well; u must have different books to the ones i have then

  • rommel please read the book again u will see his father died of cancer in 1980 aged 57 when david was in the raf and his mother died in 1993 of a heart attack during her sleep in the night thats what it says in my books anyway so u must have read it wrong somewhere

  • awesome the dad dies of cancer yes!!!! and the mom of a heart attack awesome ssoooo exctied about that. But I wish they would have suffered way more than that sick human beings

  • Yo, the dad wasn't a bad person! What did the dad do wrong? Ya, the dad could have taken the boys too, but that doesn't mean you have to rejoice his death! And the mom was a good person, she just got to into drugs and etc. So I know they are getting punished, IF they hadn't repented while they were still alive.

  • the dad is a bad person becouse he could of tocken dave and live somewhere els but hes a retard

    what if your dad was like that you wouldnt get mad

  • Yea he made some bad choices! I'm not EVEN trying to say what his parents did was ok by any means. I'm just saying. Child abuse is sick and wrong, but Jesus (sorry if your not Christian, I mean no disrespect.) said 'As I have loved you, love one another.' They will get their punishment for hurting poor Dave and Richard, but filling your life with hate is never a good thing to do.

  • Not just dave and richard. Russel Ron Stan and Kevin had got it worse then dave and dave even said so himself because he only lived with that mother for 12 years whle is brthers for like 18 years

  • @kirsie95 im cathlic

  • True, although they wernt beaten for 18 years . . . only after Dave left did it start and the ammount varries on how old they are but i would guess 3-8 (depending on if she beat Kevin or not) years while Dave was brutalized for 8 years

  • the dad was also an alcoholic

  • his mom was an alcoholic too.but his dad was his protector

  • dave pelzer is a man, and is an inspiration to us all!

  • It's so sad to see his baby picture and his kindergarten picture because the person who had him abused him. I thought the dad was a coward for not being a man. Afraid of his wife, what a wuss. Was she taller and bigger than him and stronger?

  • this guy is most definitely my hero, his book is so sad. what ever happened to his mom? hopefully life in prison.

  • She was never charged and she died in 1992

  • wtf on the first part?!?

  • umm at the first part he needs to check the writing i'm just saying

  • 1:00-1:22- DAVE and his son

  • he was sooo cute..i cried even more after seeing his pictures.

  • Is it me or does he look like Jack Coleman?

    Also when I read the books I just so wished I can go back in time and beat his mother to death and save that little boy.

    Too bad they don't have time machines yet.

    I feel so bad for him, no one should go through what he did. No one ...

  • The song is awesome

  • Comment removed

  • i couldnt believe how handsome he was/is, now i can put faces to the books. cant believe what he went through.

  • i love this man, he has inspired my life. i've always wanted to give him a hug.. since my twelfth birthday, when I first read his first book. he's given me my dreams in life and 7 years on i still hold on to them. one day they'll come true.

  • I am sorry I can hardly understand what your saying in this video. The grammer is not just a little bad its realy bad. Its just that its hard to make your point to others when the words are all mixed up or not in the correct context. I am not trying to be mean I just wanted to watch your video. I believe you have a good message that you want to convey.If you need any help with any kind of grammer, english or, anything I would be happy to help. Many blessings! Its a bit beyond broken english

  • This is a very sad story. I have read one of the books. The tortures was so horrible. I don't understand how a parent can threat it's child like that. Very sad...

  • Comment removed

  • the sad part is he is now fuck up really bad. nobody knows how bad she missed him up

  • I have read the book A Child Called It, The Privilege To Youth, and A Man Named Dave, and I realised how courageous Dave Pelzer is today for escaping from his mother and forgiving her in the end. I have a huge amount of respect for Dave Pelzer. He is so strong. The name of the song in this video is Mad World.

  • he stole the frozen hot dogs and ate them then she made him make himself puke to see what he ate at school then she made him eat them after he puked and he didn't eat them out of the toilet but i agree this kid was a stud

  • i agree with you hornets2005

  • dude what are you 6 years old ?

  • that book brought me to tears

  • did u read the sequels the lost boy and a man named dave?

  • noooo! I really want to tho...were they good?

  • if ur curious to see what happens to david after a child called "it", id advise u to go to ur public library lol thats all im saying

  • I have read the book A Child Called IT and i was moven to tears sone times. I have very much respect of Dave Pelzer because se has a vers strong character.

  • ok i got a huge qustion who is the little boy on the cover of the book is that really him as a child?????????

  • this was possibly the best book i ever read, David Pelzer, the 3rd worst case of child abuse in Californian history

  • WHAT THE!!, i can not understand what your trying to say in this video, you better practice on your spelling :), i love the video btw 5/5*

  • Mad World by Gary Jules not REM. Originallt done by Tears for Fears

  • Sorry but I can not understand anything you wrote!!! But the video is nice!

  • its called Mad World by Michael ...something

  • Michael Stipe of R.E.M. ... beautiful song.

  • andrews

  • who sings this song?

    please let me know.

    thanks so much.

  • its not R.E.M. its Mad Wold by Gary Jules its a cover originally did by tears for fears I believe

  • its a very good book, its very strong and is very sad.. even if your not that kind of person, this book will make you think.. its sad to think that someone went through with all the shit that happened to him and wasn't found out untill much later, but its nice to know he got on with his life and became stronger... top bloke

  • i have no idea wut these subtitles are trying to say

  • I just got the book A Child Called "It" last night and already finished it. I had to stop reading it once, because it was SO disturbing. I got to another part in the book and almost cried. Heartbreaking.

  • HE'S A BiTCH! HE CAME TO TALK @ MY HiGH SCHOOL AND HE WAS SOO RUDE! NOT SAYiNG THAT HiS BOOK iSNT GOOD OR ANYTHiNG, BUT i THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA BE NiCE. >:/

  • ?you read the book? i cant even believe that he isnt shizophrenic

  • skitsophranic

  • schizophrenic

  • Really? o . o how was he rude? o _ o

  • maybe u misunderstand him

  • omg what was he like?

  • What did you expect him to do? crack a joke? its a very serious issue, and deeply important to him that he gets his message across, he is trying, and suceeding in making a difference.

  • penis2425 Dont act like your are in a foster home. I totally respect the fact that you might be in a foster home but please dont share your personal info like that cause sometimes its not okay to fake the person you really are. Not saying that i disrespect that you are in a foster home :}}}

  • hes talking about dave not himself

  • at least he has happiness now and hios bitch mom isnt around..

  • i am reading his brothers book now and it is just as good. i have all 3 books of davids

  • ngfxoxo yeah is mom is dead and she was diagnosed with i dontknow if I spelt it right but scitzophrenia. And both of his parents are dead and I got to meet him ebcuase he came to my foster home in daley city cali.

  • i'm reading his book now, i find it hard to read

  • wuts that song called

  • MAD WORLD!!!

  • you are my hero dave. You carried on without carrying the load of being beaten. Thank you for the effort against child abuse

  • god bless him

  • you got those pics from his web site im not stupid

  • Who has a happy abusive childhood???

  • PS....is she dead now? I thought I read she was. What do you think was the deal with her? I think her sadistic and violent cruelty to David and then his brother shows she was a mentally ill, I would say a sadistic psychopath. Does not excuse one thing that she did, but it might provide an explanation of why. As for his father, shame on his life, for sitting back and allowing this to take place, and never once coming to his little boy's defense. Shame!

  • she passed away in 1994

  • dave pelzer story is true.

  • was the child called it a true story?

  • Awesome!

  • I read the read the book, all 3 OMG I cried so hard i can't just even like wrap my mind around why she was put in jail or was allowed to keep her other children!

  • And because his monster of a mother wasnt punished for what she did to david she then went on to abuse his younger brother richard, whom has also written two books about his childhood- very sad as it could have easily been avoided .( books are called "A brothers journey " and " A teenagers journey " by Richard b.Pelzer.)

  • Davie, Thanks for ordering those 3 clips for me.

    Call me on my new cell # when they arrive.

    When you go up to Salem, dont forget the #500

    of the 9. Thanks man...

  • Such a sad sad story. I am wondering if there are any pictures of David's mother? I am curious what she looks like; no doubt far from the cloven footed evil creature that I think of for her; but I still am curious.

    Bless you Dave and all your family, may you have peace and love for the rest of your time on this planet.

  • There is a picture of the beast right here on you tube. Look for Dave pelzer- one mans courage to survive. (picture appears at about 39 seconds into it.) i felt like spitting right at my computer screen when she appeared .

  • Thank you Beck. You know I have often wondered what David looked like growing up; the few shots I have seen apparently were before the abuse got too intense, and he was a very sweet looking child. I wondered about school pictures, are there any of him that would show us how he looked? Things are better now in terms of detecting and preventing child abuse but boy we have a LONG way to go. Thank you for your info.

  • dave, i was talking to my aunt which i just reunited with ( over the phone and thanks to myspace) after 22 years of not knowing anything about my dad and his family. i was born in Cali , in 1978 but in 1989 my mother decided to leave my dad after falsely putting him in jail. anyhow to get to the point , i was talking to my aunt and going over my life since the last time i saw her and i was recounting my life story to her ,that is when she said "oh,have you read "a child it"? this is the 1st x.

  • dis book is real good but its sad 2 nd its funny cuz i HATE reading books nd dats prolly dat only 1 i liked.

  • I've read the book. And it's just breathtaking! How can u treat a child like that?! Im proud of u Dave, That u survived all that. Hope ur haveing a better life now then before<3

  • Ive Read All 3 Of Davids Books and they made me cry he is such an amazing man my heart realy goes out to him he is a man of courage bravery and hope. He is a insperational man. Great Video :D

  • Um.. this video has REALLY bad grammar..

  • i love the book so much it makes me cry inside!!!

  • =[ omg how did he survive the book made me cry so much =[[ i love Dave plezer he is a role model 4 all

  • great job! u made me cry tho...n i don't under stand how he got so abbused...n then he has all that tradity, and then joins the army...there's some more tradjity

  • Reading Dave Pelzers book "A Child Called It" brought me to tears. This clip brought them up again. Its sad to think that in this world such evil exsists.

  • it does exist just look at the us government...just kidding, but no thats sad

  • it would be so fakin awsome to meet him and i know his mom is dead but man would i like to understand why she did that..

  • i cant understand this! hahahahahahahahahhaaaa

  • God Bless you Dave

  • im so inspired by dave ,i think he rocks!!! im glad his devil mother die when i was born she should go to hell with her grave!!!

  • ive read all Daves books and i must say i have the greatest respect for him.He has an inner strength that only God knows where he got it from,God bless you Dave

  • I hate his mother. Fucking evil bitch. She never recieved any punishment at all for her crimes. Except that she was probably always miserable every day of her life. The rest of the family are almost as bad, for not stepping in and protecting him and the rest of the community. The school and the social let this go on for years.

  • I Dont If Your Filmar With The Law In There Years But You Coulden't Get Into It Or You Would Be In Prison Yourself So You Need Evidence To Get Him In Prison

  • What. Can you explain yourself a bit better. I don't know what you are trying to say.
