Given the responses you are getting from mom that this is just the way the child behaves no matter what is going on - teeth, sleep, sugar - as you say who cares and sorry but after awhile the excuses don't hold any weight on the issue. I agree he has lost his chances and if you can simply give notice - he has had enough chances for a turn around. A complete turn around is in order for him and that means starting afresh in a new care situation too where past habits do not exist. Suggest an age equivalent program where he is with peers and not a mixed group with younger kids - needs a big kid to bully him a bit and put him in his place but don't share that last part with mom. Time to put the ads up today for a replacement and this one stays only as long as you need to give notice according to contract. Too close to Christmas and fun things to do to tolerate him much longer.

Why do parents think it is ok for their kids to act this way? Just boggles my mind.
