My brother is 32 years old. He was born with a physical disability and seems to have an emotional disablity too. He has extremely low self esteem and uses money to buy friends. Money that he does not have. He works in food service and is in serious financial trouble. He meet a couple of girls in the past year and starting buying them everything they wanted for their attention. Debt soon followed, along with a suicide attempt. My parents took over power of attorney and started paying off his bills for him with his meager food service paycheck. The girls were still in his life and we suspected he was getting money somehow and giving it to them. Today we found he opened a credit card and has already charged 1500 in the last few months buying the girls bus tickets, food, and entertainment. How do we get credit card companies to prevent him from opening credit cards? I want to know if there is some way to protect him and my parents. He does not have enough responsibility to have credit and we need help. I just want advice as we are lost in what is the right course of action. Thank you so much in advance
