It's hard to tell, just by the incident itself, what the background story to this is.

Perhaps, the mother and father speak like sailors around the house (no offense to seamen). On the otherhand, perhaps the kid watches too much of The Sopranos.

This all stems back to a lack of discipline in the past. No kid just starts like that out of the blue. He first starts at a lesser stage and gradually builds up a lack of respect and an acceptance of coarse language. Now I'm no angel of language myself, but I know when to control it and when to let it fly (note: how I speak around my friends is not the same as around my co-workers, which is not the same as around my family). This kid just needs to learn some respect. But then again, the parents should never have let him get away with it the first time.
