Life as a Ghetto Child

About the Book

This book is about the life of five black children who were raised in the ghetto and who were subjected to abusive hands. I can recall so many times I was beaten, but those that I’m sharing are some of the worst ones from my memory. Verbal and mental abuse was an everyday event. Three of us survived and are still alive today to tell the story. I hope that by sharing my story, I can help someone else. Please speak up if you suspect abuse; do not look the other way. Below is a list of national hotlines. Please call if you need help. You can remain anonymous.

About the Author

There were so many incidents of abuse that I could not put into this book. What I did share with the reader were some of the worst scenarios I could recall. By writing this book I am hoping that it brings an awareness to the subject of childhood abuse and that the reader will use the hotline if you suspect that abuse is going on. Remember a child is at the mercy of its abuser and they, cannot speak for themselves.
