Recently while talking to my mum over the phone (we live very far apart) she informed me in the middle of the conversation that my cousin's 20 years old daughter was staying at her house for a few days. Since I know my cousin and her family live some 300 miles away from my parents, I asked how come. She answered that she was in town for a few days because her boyfriend needed to take an exam there, so my cousin called my mum to ask her if it her boyfriend could stay at her house because he had that exam to take in town.
I was beyond appalled at the nerve my cousin had to just pick up her phone to invite a total stranger to stay at my parents house. The thing is that is a "multiple offender" for that matter. I'm sure she would do it for by example since she the really frontal type when it comes to express what she wants and doesn't want. It bothers me because I feel my mum is being taken advantage of.
Is your mom senile or otherwise needing care? If not, mind your own business. It's a family member asking another family member for help. As I read it, your cousin is there also?
I don't know what multiple offender means. But if he is violent or a thief and your mom doesn't know, it might be wise to tell her.

Should I say something to her?
Oh, hell no. MYOB! Who elected you your mother's guardian? Does she even NEED a guardian? She probably enjoyed having some young people around for a few days. Or was she worried and edgy about it?
Now, if your cousin wanted to move IN with your grandmother as a permanent resident, that might need addressing if your mother is too timid to say no.
Meanwhile, stay out of it. Your mom had out-of-town visitors who happened to be family. Isn't that nice? End of story.
