I see how frustrating this must be, it would drive me insane. But everyone else is right, it's not really your problem. And yes, maybe his mum shouldn't have asked you to talk to them, but maybe she's desperate for help.

I would suggest his parents sit down with him (maybe you could get her out of the way for them?) and explain that they can't keep helping him with money on a regular basis, so he is going to have to work out something permanent because it feels like you're paying this girls salary for her not to work.

And then let them make their own minds up. But if people keep giving them money they are going to start relying on it and struggle to manage without it.
