  • Financial Abuse of Elderly

    My 92 yr old mother has recently moved in with my brother and his wife. It has come to my attention he has been withdrawing large sums of money from her bank account. Only yesterday her account had £20,000 withdrawn. My mother has no knowledge of the withdrawal. What should I do? My brother is unpredictable and often verbally abusive towards me and other family members.

        Not 999 - but definitely report. If you have a police station near you perhaps go in and ask if you can speak to someone face to face about the issue (covid may have stopped that of course). It is often easier to do so than speaking on the phone in a difficult situation such as this.

          Phone and write to the bank to suspend the account if you believe their is fraudulent activity. Then everything can be investigated regarding removal of funds.

            You may find the police are 'slow' to respond. Having experienced something of this nature recently, social services were a little bit more proactive and helpful in terms of intervening practically. Sadly, elder abuse, especially financial is a common behaviour from grown children
            "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

              Thanks for the responses. I’m sure my brother thinks he’s the main beneficiary of my mother’s will so he’ll take what he wants now. It’s a difficult situation as she lives with him and certainly pays her way as he takes her full pension too.

              She has no idea he’s taking the funds, it’s incredibly sad.

                An early intervention is always better, as time goes on, things generally become more difficult. Everyone knows where they stand.
