I don't think that this is off topic at all. We all had a mother, and 99.999% of mothers are great. Even if she wasn't the best, no one deserves to be treated like this one. We have a Department of Human Services here that could step in. Surely, you have something like that. If not, why not the police? I don't know the whole situation, or your local laws, but PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!! I wouldn't be worried about repurcussions either. The up side would be that you just might get to smash some teeth(in self defense, of course). Go for it.
