I'd advise her not to become a gun collector, keep the knives locked up, maybe buy a Taser, perhaps introduce her son to the calming effects of marijuana!

Anyone that allows a child to believe they are in control, is setting themselves up for this. Frequently a child is given everything they ask for. This commonly takes place after a divorce. The one thing the child wants is for the divorce to go away. To have their home and life intact again. Things snap when the child believes they are in complete control, but can't quite get the family back. Two year old throws a tantrum? It's hard to say no. Five year old throws a tantrum. .. it's harder to say no. The longer you wait to say "no" and mean it, the harder it becomes to do it. If you wait until the person is an adult .. you no longer have the problem, the rest of us do. The "child" believes, deep inside, that everyone obeys them. And if they don't the resulting destruction is the fault of the person that disobeyed.
