Without knowing the person and her kids personally, just from what you have said, it sounds like she may be in denial about the severity of her childrens behavior. Hurting animals is one step that can lead into some very serious problems with children. Not saying their situation may be this severe, it's quite possible that it's not. But she needs to work on that situation before getting any pet, especially a dog as small as a yorkie.
