It really wouldn't matter how he acquired the one pain pill, but for possession with intent and tax stamp violation there's more to this story that isn't being told.
It sounds like your asking if his mother will get in trouble for providing prescription medications to someone else. Potentially, yes. Delivery of prescription medication without a prescription is a felony.
