A Boy Called It

This is a very heartbreaking story about a boy who once had a loving family, but for some reason something changed for the bad. He's father left his mother and 2 younger brothers with their mom and she becomes a bitter lady that treats her oldest son terribly. She barley feeds him and when she does its the scraps from his brother leftovers. She beats him and leaves bruises, and when the teachers and nurses ask him why what happened to him, he is told to lie. This has happened so often that the nurse began to catch on and called the police on his mother; he feels bad that he has revealed the secret of what his mom does to him. He feels he should still be protecting her because that's still his mom.
