The documents added that Dlamini has also shown instances of verbal assault, with the filings describing his behaviour as “degrading and demeaning” and alleging that he stole and damaged some of his little sister’s personal belongings.

Sawyer also claims that her son has made threats of violence against her own life, per the source.

“I need these orders to protect the physical and emotional well-being of all parties listed,” the petition stated, per NBC News. “I am not only worried and fearful of physically violent episodes but the tremendous mental and emotional damage that is being done.”
