The Lost Boy is a true story about a child who was placed in the foster care system at the young age of twelve, after being relentlessly abused and tortured by his mother and neglected by his father.
The story shows David undergoing a variety of physical and emotional abuse by his mother. After he is kicked out of the home, David has the opportunity to alert the police of his continuous abuse but does not. Eventually, his teachers take action, and David is placed in the foster care system.
Much of David's time within the system is spent in great fear. He worries that his mother will come and take him away to subject him to more abuse. On the other hand, although he despised the torture he endured living at home, David still yearns for love from his mother.
David is eventually released on his own, and from then on, he works through many difficulties (juvenile detention, education, etc.) in order to find the happy life he has always dreamed of.
