Thats mama's fault but I will say parents in general are less likely to throw out any meaningful discipline because of the laws governing child abuse anymore.
Nothing wrong in that situation to give in and get the kid his Hardees biskit.
Put it in a tube sock and supersize it with 4 golf balls and a claw hammer and
go upside his head with the whole order. When he wakes up tell him his name is Shep, build him a little house in the back yard, chain him to a tree and head to WalMart for a bag of Ol Roy to feed it.
