I'm considering hiring someone to drag him out by his hair and beat him to within an inch of his life...
My sister is mentally retarded and recieves money from the state. These guys come in (usually not retarded) and take advantage of her, taking her money...the last guy had 2 illegitimate kids and used my sisters money to pay their child support.
I'm tired of hearing about this, but live across the country and can't help directly. What are my options?

Have a lawyer send them letters to get the money back. You might recover some of it, and at least the same guys won't be back.
Edit: I couldn't get this question out of my head. What amazing a**-holes. Everyone does bad stuff, so I don't like to point fingers. But really? People would do this? Don't they worry their mothers are going to find out? I could never live with all the guilt and shame. . . .
The other ideas here are good: Authorities, nurse (if there's money), some gov't protective agency, etc.. It's tough, though. When I read through the question, I went from thinking "violence is not the answer," to "wow, that guy has a lot of self-control."

Who takes care of her, is she in a home? Have these scum bags been reported to the authorities? Any chance of moving her closer to you so you can keep an eye on her? She is going to have to learn to be more careful and not so trusting. I know it's a hard lesson, but that's what we have to teach little children. Tell the agency that pays your sister and maybe they can help figure out something. Maybe a counselor or someone like that to handle her money for her.

although you are her sister there is not much you can do about it...hitman wayyy waste of your money ..you could always threaten him but thats only when its gone 2 far...ligaly theres not much you can do unless you take him to court ..long prosess..my my works in mental health and owns homes in birmingham (england) for people with mental problems .every week they get a benefit beacuse they are unable to work.i remember about a year ago one of the men who lives in one of her homes made a new friend ,it seem this (new friend) would only ever come round when he needed money .there was nothing my mom could do about it because it was not her money and the man whos money it was did not complain..if its bothering you so much try and drill it into your sisters head that this man is bad and he is not a nice person ,and try to persuade her that by not giving him money she is doing the rite thing .thats realy the only thing you can do untill she discides to stop giving him money . its also alot harder that you dont live near her.....or hire a hitman lol im only joking ...x.x.x

Explain to your parents, and try explaining to your sister. If this doesn't work, go and stay with your sister, and say you want to spend some quality time with her, go out to a pub or club with her, and find her someone who doesnt steal her money if this doesnt work then get evidence of this man stealing your sister money and explain to the police or governement whats going on. they should arrest him, but be careful if you hire someone to hurt him they will arrest you!

Contact her local community services department. They may be able to assist you. Even though she isn't being physically abused, what she is experiencing is still some form of abuse, or utter disrespect at best, so you might want to contact an 'abused women' organization, I am certain one would offer her a world of help.

ask your sister to allow you to Move your sister out to where you live and try to help her out. It wouldnt be worth to hire someone for that because then your in jail and cant help her at all. Or perhaps you could move closer.

find a social service office where your sister lives...contact them and explain what is going on...you may also consider having your sis move to the city you live in.....unfortunately we live in a society where only the strong survive....she really needs you...good luck

Hire a companion-caretaker to live with your sister and watch over her.
