EDIT: In reply to the first answer– yes, the individual involved (not me, by the way) does have power of attorney. I need to know if any legal action can be taken in regard to the situation.

if you have power of attorney over your mother yes you can do so. Otherwise no, she can see and communicate with whoever she wants. You could be arrested Rob M
