Nice. Trash like this should not breed.

"The 16 year-old kid is the only adult in this household"

I disagree. . .smug little bas##rd. . .played his mom and teased her and knew how to push her buttons. . .he knew he was running the camera. . .knew he was being recorded and was playing games.

The whole situation stinks.

Not a single adult there.

Wow...what a trashy mouth that "mother" has! I hope that kid used that video to show child protective services what kind of treatment he gets at home. If he is at all lucky, he has been emancipated!

For the "father" to say that the mother has provided for them for 16 years is just absurd! She is the mother...it is her responsibility to provide for her children till they are 18! She chose to have children...if she didn't want to have to support them, she should have kept her legs closed!!

bump for viewing when the kid is not in the office with me.

They sounded Canadian to me, especially the father.
Other than that, I have to say, I think I am a bit stupider for having watched (listened to) it

[BADROTOFINGER]

The kid sounds like he could use a father figure to teach him how to be a man and make him stronger. There is no strength to speak of in his drama queen witch of a mother that anyone could draw upon, except maybe a restaurant owner in need of a dishwasher...JFK

If anything, I'd say the kid was reacting this way to treatment that he recieved, and probably recieves on a day to day basis. Something tells me that this is not an isolated incident. The woman is a maniac, and a terrible mother who should not have a kid.

Whew! Some serious stress going on in that house (not "home"). We don't know the dynamics behind all this - maybe he has been a real difficult child and she has lost all sense - but, obviously, this is not a one-time occurance there. I can't imagine living with a person who shreeks like that, even without the foul language. What a sick woman. It appears she got into hitting him and tossing things around in his room. Amazing that he did not get physical himself.

Sounds like the kid works; his room reflects some pretty nice stuff - did he buy that? As to his car, I wonder if he bought and paid for it, maintains it, etc. or does mom help?

This is the sort of environment that breeds our future criminals, rapists, social misfits, and of course men who breed children and then leave the mothers and children penniless. How can anyone learn anything else but being self-centered and violent after living with that kind of mother?

I hope the kid takes this video to some social service agency for review. They all need lengthy counseling.

Geeze, I need to find "The Waltons" on TV to watch now and remember how life should be.

[Ladysmith]

Oh dear Lord. That is just heartbreaking.

Man, do I empathize with that kid. You don't sling verbal assaults around like that unless you do it on a regular basis. The mom is utterly whacked. And why isn't the dad able to help her out instead? I didn't hear anything that suggested the kid was in trouble, just that he didn't help around the house. Yet he does have a job and a car.

Prayers of courage and strength for him are going up.
