1) What did you read about today? Be specific.
I read about a nine year old boy named Dave Pelzer who lives in Daly City, California, who was abused by his mother. He sits at the bottom of the stairs hungry and alone, and his mother doesn't even feed him on the weekends. He is starved and worked like a slave. She makes sure that he didn't eat by forcing him to puke in the toilet. The father always tries to stand up to the wife, but he can't. The mother calls Dave up to the room, and grabs him by the ear and smacks him. She tells him to leave the house, and he does. He runs away to a church, and goes to a pizza bar. He steals a quarter, and the cook asked him to give it back. He starts asking Dave if he's okay, then he calls the cops and they question Dave. Dave's father comes and says that Dave ran away because he wasn't allowed to ride his bike, but he was lying so he doesn't cause any trouble. Then the father drives Dave home.
