You do not indicate whether or not the mother has legal guardianship of this person. His rights would depend on whether she has a legal right to make decisions for him or not.

The answer would depend on whether the parents have guardianship over the adult and what is the mental condition of the adult. Since the facts are not specific, I cannot give you any other advise than to contact a local attorney.
