I've been tempted to speak with her family, but I've never met them. I think I could find contact info for her daughter or sister, but I would worry that they would report the conversation.
That behaviour sounds manipulative.
Report the conversation to her? Well, that would be unfortunate, but you're not in control of what they do, and if you asked it'd only be in a caring way, right? But whatever you do is okay, and she'll be okay.
