<human>: I was wondering what your opinion on this situation is..thank you for your time. 

My aunt has an 8 year old son and she will not get a job to take care of his needs. She gave him to my parents for 4 months  (she said he was out of control and hitting her) and he was up to a healthy weight, was getting straight A's in school and was a joy to be around. He's great at sports and school and loves to read. My aunt had a verbal agreement with my father that she could have him back when she got a job and got her life on track. During the last 4 months she has been fired from 3 different jobs because she will not show up for work, and when she did actually show up she was very late. 

One day out of the blue she showed up to take her son back and said it was "just to make your mother angry." Since she has taken him back he has lost weight ( he eats mostly cereal with her ) his grades have dropped (from straight A's to getting two B's and a C in reading, his favorite subject). She has no working vehicle because my family is tired of giving her money when she has no ambition and doesn't take care of her son, and she also never takes him to school on time. She calls my parents and her father 2-3 times a week to take her son to school at 9-10am because she slept in or she wasnt feeling well. 

One of the worst parts of it all is she always tells her son she has no money and it's influencing him terribly. He asks his grandpa if he can do chores to get his mom some money and he even stole money from the drawer at my mothers hair salon!! He is 8 years old and a great kid and his mother is ruining his life. His father is out of the picture because he is in and out of jail (his mom worked at a local jail and slept with him) and he needs our help but his mother won't let us.

I know how difficult these cases can be and I know a mother has to do terrible things  to lose her child but can anything be done here?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Mother never takes her son to school, can't keep a job, and doesn't feed him well. Can anything be done here?
