On March 4, 1983, Charles Rothenberg deliberately set fire to
the bed where his six-year-old son, David, lay sleeping. Although
David did not die, burns covered 90 percent of his body and left
him severely disfigured. Rothenberg admitted his guilt and spent
seven years in prison. This book is the troubled life story and
in-depth study of Charles Rothenberg through over 140 letters,
personal interviews, and his own writings. It is told by Harry J.
Gaynor, a recognized authority on child abuse by burning and
President of the National Burn Victim Foundation; the Rev. Dr. Jack
Wilson, a minister and counselor; and Dr. Andrew Savicky, a
psychologist. The authors reach beyond the bizarre facts of this
story and enter the mind and emotions of Rothenberg to gain some
understanding of what led to this crime. They attempt to employ
that understanding to protect children from abuse.
