Yes, a stay-at-home mom can win sole custody of her children if she can demonstrate that it is in the best interest of the child. Courts typically consider factors such as the child's needs, the parent's ability to provide care, and the overall stability of the home environment. If the mom can show that she is the primary caregiver and can provide a nurturing environment, she may have a strong case for sole custody. Ultimately, custody decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, considering the unique circumstances of each family.
In America, a man will win custody of children when it is shown that the woman is somehow incompetent, a drug user, or violent. It does happen even though it might not seem that frequent.

In the cases where fathers do challenge for custody, 60% of them will be accused of child sexual abuse as a tactic by the mother to prevent him getting it, but even when successful, they can still lose as 30% of them learn they are not the father of one or more of the children. If he does win custody, he can than be accused of domestic violence committed some time in the previous 12 months, as which point an injunction stops him from getting the child until he can prove himself innocent. If he does prove himself innocent, or it was found that he defended himself when she attacked him, then he cannot have custody because that's still considered domestic violence against the mother.
Bad Idea. If your friends Mom is abusing him then this is a matter for the police. The police and authorities will then decide what is best for him. Getting your Mom to have custody because he is your boryfriend is unlikely to seem a good idea to the authorities. There is too much 'self interest' evident in the situation.
