That's truly sad.
That child didn't learn to behave like that without an example, trust me. In all likelihood, LJ is correct and he watches his dad (or a father figure) beat hell out of mom, tormenting and bullying her. Dad gets a kick from it, Mom comes across as ineffectual and weak and son picks up on it.
The only hope for keeping that child from growing up to be an abusive spouse and parent is if mom finds some strength and gets him the f*ck out of there NOW and into some intensive therapy.
She will be battered by him as well as her husband/partner once he gets a little older if she doesn't.
I know all too well about abuse.
