How did I go from "adorable" to "dangerous "?

Keith was only a toddler, a toddler. When he started being abused by his mother. His mother would smack him, beat him, even chock him to sleep. Keith would always wonder why his mother would do this to him, that's when he figured it out. He was 10 when he figured it out, his mother didn't love him. He didn't understand why, he was a good kid, good kid. That's when keith started to realize that he was going to run away from his mother, he didn't know where he would go, but anywhere would be better then that hell hole. 'Will Keith make it out? Or will he be caught and hurt'
