Of course he didn't have to. I am not trying to argue with you on this point and I agree with you that they are all out of line. I just feel this is learned behavior because he has been raised by wolves. People don't learn how to abuse, manipulate and act like total scum in a vacuum. His behavior is a direct reflection on her as a parent. Sad thing is this is probably happening down the street from both of us right now. This is a sad reflection of something too common in our society. On the planet I was raised, things like this never happened. They are all wrong in this situation. Thing is, the mother should know better and the stepfather should grow a pair and tell her to speak like a civil human being. I have a feeling this kid was recording this for a reason.(If it is real that is).
