In the scenario, in which, Tomas behaves in a loving manner toward his grandmother, but when she is not looking he regularly takes her credit cards from her purse and makes unauthorized purchases means that Thomas is engaged in material exploitation of his grandmother. It is a financial abuse, because Thomas steels money from her.
