really liked it
bookshelves: non-fiction

Hardest thing I every had to read. The first time I read them by choice and since I did not have small children I was only appalled on the most basic level. Now with a five year old and having to read it again for class, I am tortured. I want to reach through the pages and choke the mom out. Also I am furious at the so-called "saviors" who finally after years at looking at evidence of the most heinous abuse finally decided to "risk" their jobs and call the police. Don't get me started. This book fuels me on in my career and reminds me exactly what is at stake.

Busola this book is about how some children have to fight for their lives and their diginity from young ages and it really broke my heart to see what he had to go through just to have a life and yes at a point i really felt angry and distured at how this boy was being treated i felt like choking his mother . this book also shows that even at tje tougest times he always thought to give up but he always regained his strength and fought for what was rightfully his ad thats why i really think this was a fantastic book.
