- By her white-haired, aging teacher, no less.
- There is also a 17 year old mother of an 11 month old baby. I don't think the age of her husband is mentioned, but they were narried when she was heavily pregnant.

- A 17 year old mother throws a bottle at her baby's head, yells at him, picks him up roughly, and then punches him twice in the face, so hard that his eyes swell shut and bruise. Later, a priest remembers more of her abuse confessions against the baby. Later, she force feeds him and screams at him, after he's dead. It's very disturbing.

Sexual assault happens multiple times in the book. Some is implied, other instances are explicitly stated such as when a man is said to be r*ping his wife.

There is a drawn out and descriptive funeral scene for one of them.
Later (chapter 8), there is a very disturbing scene when an abusive mother finds her baby dead (more in the child abuse section).
In the same chapter, but after that, there are descriptions of the first boys' parents grieving. It sounded realistic to me. Reminded me of real situations I've been in and around.
