I would talk to the kid myself about what the expectations are in my home and let him know what you expect of your child is what you expect of him. And if needed have your husband there as well because that fatherly influence might help. I have always been a firm believer in it takes a village to raise a child and because his mom is turning a blind eye, that's where I think it would be okay for you to chime in. The kids get along and we would hate to see this kid end up down the wrong path. Afterwards, I would tell the mother, but not before I talked to him. In this instance it's better to ask forgiveness than permission.
I've had to say something to some of my daughter's friends and they know that I don't play with disrespectful children.
