Legal Question in Elder Law in California

My parents adopted a child who is almost 40 that has been diagnosed with mental disabilities (parinoid, bipolar etc) He lives in texas, they in California. He is constantly calling and getting my father who is 80 yrs old to send money. My father is dealing with dymentia and hearing loss . All of a sudden my step brother is calling almost daily and my father runs and sends him money, ie.. hundreds if not thousands in the last 6 months. My mom is afraid they will lose their room becuz my dad refuses to say no. My mom wants to know if this would be considered elder abuse. She says my father said he just cannot say no, but we all know the money goes for drugs etc. What can my mom do to protect their home and my dad. My dad watches the phones in the house, and more often than not all the calls are private caller or throw away phones.
