I guess the kid must have called social services because the mother was too busy pawning his sh!t. I think abused women are the most pathetic creatures in existence. I know it is not entirely their fault and many psychological disturbances and events make them 'powerless', but this woman watches her husband kick the crap out of her son then buys him a drink with the victim's merchandise. Then there is the fact that:
Violence + alcohol = Violence ^2
Yeah, I saw that on the news about two weeks ago, KDR. People are f*cked up.
