he’s 30, not 13. as an adult, he is legally responsible for his own care. she should check the paperwork, usually when admitted you have to fill out paperwork stating that if you are uninsured, who is responsible for payment. she needs to check to see if he put her. she needs to contact them and tell them, he’s 30 and it’s not her responsibility. she also needs to contact a lawyer because i don’t see anything legal about this.
