Child Abuse Story From Aly for Will

by Alyssa
(USA)

There is this boy in my school and he is really nice and he is really small. I was talking to him in art and he told me that his mom was mean and when i asked him about it he claimed that she yelled and sometimes hit him. I was scared to ask any more just because i could see the terrified look he gave me.

Will is one of those kids that people make fun of but i think that he is rather fun to talk to. I remember in 6th grade we wrote haiku's and he wrote how mean his mom was and that he hated her. He also wears the same shorts when it is warm out, they are blue checkered and that is all he wears. It kills me to think what honestly goes on with someone so close to me. I understand that i dont have all the proof in the world but just everything he tells me makes me wonder. He always looks scared. And im not the best in art so we were making these things with needles and she ran out of this white color of thread and i said 'why dont you switch colours?' and he was like 'I like to follow rules. not following rules is bad for you' i was scared to talk to him so i had to move seats that day. Please anyone that can help im only 13 and i want to help before its too late.
