If her fear is that they would take him away maybe you could consult with a psychiatrist or therapist to see how they would asess him and treat him and maybe they could add how they have been successful with other children. Maybe that would ease her mind a little and get the wheels turning that her household could maybe be a happier place. The longer she waits the harder he will be at responding to any kind of treatment. Give her a crap load of info...

I agree this whole family is in need of professional help.
The emotion Fear is running this house and this child has been allowed/taught to hold the keys by abusive/violent behavior.
Before calling this child a monster in the making or incouragable I would have to put the responsability on the parents.
The mother needs help indeed to press a reset button and gain control.
This boy has no boundaries and has not been shown appropriate emotional responses to human behavior good/bad. This boy needs an adult male in his life to teach him how to be a good boy. I'm sure deep inside he is not happy and probably fearful.
Try to tell your friend that social service workers are there to help. Their goals are to keep families intact and will offer resourses and sevices to make families better. Cps is there mostly to protect children from abusive parents.
