I'm not sure if they are deadly or not. I can tell you they are poisonous and it hurts like he** to be bit by one. I would suggest that she take her son to the doctor and they will give him a shot to counteract the poison.
This is not something to mess around with. If it had been my child or one of my fur babies a trip to the doctor would be the first place I went after one bite much less 4 or 5.

Let me add that if she has some camo-phonic around she needs to put that on him right where the bites are. I did that and it immediately took the burn and sting out.

They will have to have the house sprayed to rid it of them....where had the child been to get into that many spiders? Or were they just in his boot?

A species of venomous spider, particularly Latrodectus sp.. The bite is painful to humans, rarely fatal to healthy individuals, but can be life-threatening or fatal to infants or young toddlers. Females are marked by a red hourglass shape on the abdomen (see photo, this page, and photos in Wikipedia). Mature males are smaller, of the same black color or a dark brown, have an elongated and slender abdomen (rather than the rotund abdomen of the mature female), and are marked on the dorsal of the abdomen with small flattened diamond shapes of the same scarlet color as the female's marks on the ventral of her abdomen.

I dont exactly know if it is venomous kind of spider, but I watch it on discovery collection of my friend when I visit his home. I advice to bring the victim immediately to the nearest hospital. The doctor knows well what to do.
