The mom (parents) may not be in denial...it may be that she has taken the easier path of giving in to his tantrums/demands. Just to get some peace, that may be how they have chosen to 'handle' him. Of course, while giving in to his behavior may bring them temporary relief, it is in no way addressing his problem. And it does seem that he is aware that by 'acting up' he will get what he wants.
I agree that it is cheating the rest of the class by letting him continually disrupt it. Maybe taking him out of the class and to the mom every time he is uncontrollable will let her realize that something MORE is needed than just appeasing/ignoring his bad behavior?!
Do you know how he acts in school? Does he go to school?
