I’m not sure a spanking is a miracle cure for serious mental illness. Operating on that assumption, what do you think this mother should do when nobody will listen to her about getting her son committed, short of locking up permanently in the basement like a horror-story monster or tearfully putting a bullet in the back of his head to put an end to all the suffering?
If at all possible, the mom should get the other kids to friends or family that can keep them safe.
Then she will have the ability to handle the problem and to do what is necessary to defend herself.
Even if it means charging the kid with a crime - depending on what it is, could be anything from assault (threatening to do harm) to battery (actual physical act).

]wheres the proof that she tried ???
If she did and was turned deown keep on trying...
Meanwhile get help for the other 2 ...
Protective custody would be a start...
relatives, friends...why hasnt she sent them somewhere ...
Plus remember this is a female who thinks gay marriage is just the cats PJs...
with that unstable thinking how is she someone whose story can be trusted ???
Maybe she was offered help but she didnt like the answers...
I agree. I never thought it was about spanking anyway. It's about the fear. I could count on one hand the number of times I spanked either one of my kids. However, they had a healthy amount of fear that I would not hesitate to do it.
My kids would be terrified to talk to me like this kid talks to his mother.
I don't think anyone can really be sure the cause unless you lived with it. It could have been how this boy has been raised, or it could be a completely mental illness issue.
If this boy needed a come to Jesus moment, the time for that has long passed. He doesn't seem to fear anything or anyone now. The reason for that may never be answered.
