Pattie Mallette on son Justin Bieber’s recent behavior

It’s safe to assume no one's more concerned about Justin Bieber's recent behavior than his mother, but in an interview with E! News, Pattie Mallette suggested she has little control over her pop star son’s actions.
The 37-year-old single mom did media rounds Wednesday to talk about the short film "Crescendo," which she produced, but also to comment on the firestorm surrounding Bieber, 19.

"Of course I pray for him and I encourage him," she said, about his faith and behavior. "I can't really speak to how he handles that part of his life."
