thank u for your response.

I wouldn't necessarily say that he's an abusive child.. he stops when anyone else but his mother tells him to. But as a child, he's going to have fun and play video games as long as possible. I know I did it when I was little, but the only difference was that my parents were always in charge. So they didn't need to tell me to do something over and over before I did it like with my cousin.

It's really hard seeing the damage being done and not being able to do anything about it.
I have talked to my mom (her sister) about it. Our other family members don't live nearby to have an effect on any of the decisions.
I told my mom that I would love to have him stay with me. I've been like his second mother, since I was twelve, when he was born. I'm only 19 but i know I could take care of him, since I did when I lived back at home. It would be a great sacrifice because i'm still young and it's really too early to take parental responsabilities, but I would do anything to make sure that he is raised right.

My mom says it's never good for a child to be taken away from his mother/father. (even though his father sees him rarely) He shouldn't be taken away from his mother.

I don't know what to think or do. He's coming to visit me this week, for thanksgiving.. and I know it's going to be very difficult to say good bye to him when it's time to leave.. and even harder for him.
