This story broke my heart time and time again. I can‘t imagine anyone treating an innocent child with such disrespect. How anyone could continue to beat a toddler and do this daily for many, many years, is beyond my understanding. I found it of interest that there was a society to prevent cruelty to animals before there was one for children. I would rated it a 4/5. I learned a considerable amount about a part of history I had‘nt heard of before.
