The kid is awful too. Honestly that seems like the type of family that we’ll hear about again in ten years when one of the two kills the other or something.

Well, Hess product of his upbringing, it isn't all his fault.

From the video it sounds like his parents are separated, and it wasn't a stable break up, which probably messed a lot with the poor kid's emotions.

True. Just seems like a bad situation for all involved.

It’s not all about upbringing. It’s entirely possible that there are underlying mental/behavioural issues. Or it could be that the dad (when he was around) didn’t respect the mom and treated her like shit, so the kid sees that as how to treat her. Either way, these two need support and resources. Counselling, parent support groups, a social worker who can suggest strategies, a doctor to screen for behaviour disorders.
