Financial abuse??

[mugofcocoa]

HI,
I am concerned that my younger sister is financially abusing our mum. Mum is 74 but totally with it cognitively. I have become aware that sister is regularly borrowing money from mum. Her mobile phone contract is in mum's name and she also has a credit that is in mum's name. I have discussed this with mum and she thinks I am overreacting as she consented to all of it and doesn't mind. It just doesn't sit right with me - WWYD?

Can you speak to your sister about it?

I have tried but shes gets very embarrassed/flustered and then mum gets cross with me "sticking my nose in"

What is the impact of her giving your sister money? Does she still have what she needs for food and bills etc.? If she has capacity to make decisions about her money, then it's really up to her. If you think she's being controlled or coerced into giving/lending money you could raise a safeguarding concern with the local authority.
