I'm going to say something that I almost never say because I have very strong views about it. The boy needs evaluation (his behavior could be caused by a developmental disorder), counseling and maybe (another thing I almost never suggest) even medication. He may need to be removed from the home because he is dangerous. Being 14 I don't think he truly grasps the depth's of how wrong abuse is. He probably doesn't even consider it abuse but thinks of it as fighting back to get his way. He needs to be told by others that his behavior is unacceptable and will be punished by the law if he does it again. Then if he does hit again the mom needs to call the police.
