I adored the baby in chapter 1; she was just too adorable. This chapter was very realistic because issues like that often happen. There are some people who abuse their children just because they believe they can do so, but in reality they are not fit to be parents or even be called that. People like them do not need any kids, so they should just leave it to the individuals who actually want them and will cherish their offspring no matter what.
Chapter 1 reminded me of the book, "A Child Called It," by David Pelzer.
