What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX

I have a nephew who is 16 and lives with his mother. He never knew his father and the 5 times his mother has been married, most of them have been physically abusive relationships.

She currently is not married but is looking for #6 desperately. She struggles to take care of herself and the only saving thing in her life was she inherited some money to buy a run down house to live in. She is self employed and rarely makes any money to support herself. She lives very desperately.

She has a son who is 16 who has several issues. His mom is on several dates weekly, he wakes up in the middle of the night "hearing sex sounds" (now I got your attention). He has developed several ticks, twitches, stomach aches all from his anxiety from being around his mother and her chaotic life.

We have tried to reason with his mother, he needs a positive male influence in his life and she needs to get her life together before she loses her son forever.

However she is extremely defensive and of course he is torn because he loves his mother.

so the obvious question is, what can we do to have him live with his grandparents or us or anything.

As you can understand we are very concerned about his wellbeing and the consequences of her actions.

Prove that Mom is legally unfit, or convince her to sign over guardianship.

Nothing you have said would constitute legally unfit.

If he is in danger, or being neglected and/or abused he should call 911, CPS and/or speak to a trusted teacher or school counselor.

And no - the "sex sounds" comment didn't get our attention.

Mom is ABSOLUTELY allowed to have sex. Good grief.

Frankly it's nobody else's business but hers.
