A Child Called "It" chapter 3

In this chapter it talks about how the mom drastically changes from this kind nurturing mother to this wicked witch.Her form of punishment seems a little harsh first she makes him stand in the corner for hours hes to afraid to say anything so he just stands there til his mom says to leave.Then she changes punishment to the mirror treatment she would grab him and smash his face against the mirror smearing his tears on the glass making him say "I'm a bad boy! His father was never home anymore.One day she came at him drunk and jerked his arm and ended up braking it she had no remorse for doing it either all she did was make him sleep in the top bunk so when his father would ask what happened he would just say he fell out of the top bunk.Most of his beatings happend when his dad was away.I'm so shocked that this mother could do this to her own son.People like her shouldn't be allowed near children not even her own!!!!
