16. I told my mom, who is 82
to call me and run ALL of her financial transactions past me..she isnt in dementia, but she IS naieve. she falls for things easily. ANYone could talk her into anything. I have seen her do this. so far she has called me to run everything past me, from life insurance scammers to her own church scamming her. yes, a combination of naievete' and lack of worldly experience.
hugs.
