Since the son is being investigated for the money issues, I would think Social Services adult protective section could intervene. It's awful that abuse as seemingly obvious as this has to be proven, since financial abuse has been reported and is being investigated. One would think that is enough.
I'd contact an Elder Law attorney in her area (you could try this Web site http://www.naela.org/ or check her location's phone book (most libraries can help with that - give your public library a call).
You are wonderful to be concerned about this horrible situation. Between Social Services and an elder law attorney, you hopefully will get some help.
Please check back in and let us know how you are doing.
