How can that be cured or changed? I think in her case, prison is simply what she needs to keep her from hurting people, especially her son who still lives at home with her.

I've been watching a lot of Dr. Phil and it sounds like she has the "anger disease." Or, it might have been Keith Ablow's show.

It sounds like she needs meds, but probably won't take them. Probably your best plan would be to keep out of her way. Poor Brendon being raised with her around!
He certainly turned out fine though.

Oh, and I don't believe in public humiliation. Of course, in NYC, who would even notice someone walking around with a sign that they're a shoplifter. Even if we did notice, it's not something most New Yorkers would even process, much less care about.
