Kim Givens
It is unfortunate that we must experience or hear of experiences of abuse. However, without those with such courage as Dave Pelzer we would be in the dark as to the reality of or how to put an end to such violation of self and of our children. Dave Pelzer chose to be a survivor rather than a victim. I prey that his experience will open our eyes and our hearts to those who are desperately crying to be heard.
