This is a form of identity theft and is illegal. This is not something you or your mom can handle by yourselves. The police do have the knowledge and know how to track this person through cyberspace. Even though this is most likely done through an APP and not through a phone registered in your moms name the police can track them through the electronic foot print.
This is definitely a police matter and I advice you mom to call the police. It could be someone who has a grudge against you and thinks this is funny. It is not funny it is illegal and the law takes a very dim view of it even if they are juveniles. Let the police handle it. Just don't talk about it to anyone once you make it a police matter.

Whoever is doing this is using an app (like on an iPhone or an Android) that allows them to text or call someone, and make it look like it's coming from any other phone number. I don't remember the name of the app, but something like this happened to me, and the police ended up getting involved.
I would call the police and let them know that something is up. Even if the person sending the messages isn't doing anything illegal, in case they decide to do something illegal, making sure the police are aware of your situation protects you.
Also, they can figure out who is making the calls via a cell phone provider - you don't have the power to do that. I think calling the police is your safest and best bet.
