The youth has been physically and verbally abused by the mother.
From the article: "Police said the boy told them his mother yelled at him and slapped him."

You call that abuse? LOL - you must not have been alive back when parents had rights.

The thing is that the little darlins can provoke you into yelling. You lose control and they win.
