You need to get copies of all those forged checks from the bank or from social security and obtain, if possible, any sample of the culprit's handwriting that you might be able to find. Perhaps you can find their signature on a check or note they wrote while at your mother's house. Call your local district attorney's office and ask to make an appointment with someone at that office. Bring your evidence with you, including samples of your mother's handwriting.

What happens if you help a friend cash a check on your bank account and then later find out it was fake and old stolen from her dad and the dad reported it?

Report her to the police for fraud. Take her to small claims court for the money. Go to the police department that has jurisdiction over where the check was cashed (i.e., if the check was cashed at an Orlando bank, contact Orlando PD). Ask to fill out a statement in which you admit to cashing the check but deny all knowledge that it was stolen and forged. The reason you want to do this is that if the Dad already made a report, it's going to be very hard for you to prove you didn't know what you were doing and you could be charged for uttering a forged check. By proactively making a statement to the police, you're saying you're not guilty and you had nothing to do with the incident. This is important because in many states uttering a forged check is a felony. Believe me, this is what I do all day. Make a statement and hope your friend tells the truth.
