>She called me today and said that he is not going to go there anymore and told me that he got kicked out of school and she doesn't know how to handle him anymore. He has a severe case of ADHD with aggressive behavior and she is really unable to take care of him by herself any longer.

>I don't know what to advise her. It is really bad situation, she is all alone, hard working mother with problematic kid.

If she belongs to the same temple you do (or even different) I would call her rabbi and share with him your concerns.
