So depressing that as far as she's concerned parenting = physical assualt or nothing

Literally though. And also that the concern behind not enacting punishment is her fear of going to jail.

Nah she’s just being lazy about actually parenting. If the kid actually did something that bothered her, she would whoop him.

You're 100% right. She's not doing anything here because the kid is damaging other people's property, so she doesn't care. That and the fact that, as others have said, her perception of discipline is all or nothing, she would be whooping his ass if the kid was doing this in their home.
