The Boy No One Loved By Casey Watson

In The Boy No One Loved the author, Casey Watson, discusses child abuse in a boy named Justin and some of the life events that he has gone through. Justin is an example of how child abuse can be correlated with violence. Some of the forms of child abuse that Justin went through while being with his birth mother include: neglect, maltreatment, sexual abuse, and being in an unsafe environment.

Even though he is living with the author and her family, he still feels like he needs to make sure that he has the essentials, just in case. When Justin was living with his mother he did not have the food or the security that he needed. That was one of the reasons why he burned his mom’s dog and house down. He got tired of seeing his brothers and himself go without food and being

Justin did not really create a bond with his new family like he did with the authors’, but at least he created a loving bond with someone in his life. Not every child gets the chance to create a bond like that, even with their own family. Foster care and adoption is a blessing for many people.
