The kid apparently went off his meds

"I guess everybody's saying they want to know who it is. So now you know it's me. It's my son. It's my house," she said to the camera.

"No, he's not 12. It wasn't over a cell phone. He's 15, he's 6ft tall and he's 270lbs, so no, I can't spank him."

Then she needs to call the cops and have him arrested. I don't care if he's off his meds...this is tens of thousands of dollars in damage. She has a small baby to take care of also.

Tens of thousands of dollars likely makes this a felony in a lot of States and 15 is some States can be tried as an adult.

Once she calls the police, it's up to the prosecutor if they want to press charges...it's effectively then out of the mother's hands.

If he has mental health problems, the last thing he needs is to be in jail and labeled a felon for the rest of his life.

This is obviously not a tenable situation and this child, yes a 15 year old who can do this level of damage is still a child, needs some mental health care. Given there seems to also be a baby in the house that may need to be an in-patient situation--but cops/jail/felony conviction is not what this child needs.
