"What's New"?

Do you mean the link in the Friends List window to your own Windows Live Space page showing updates of Friends?

eg:
http://<your_spaces_name>.home.services.spaces.live.com/whatsnew/

?




In that case scroll right to the bottom of that list and choose "Options"
http://<your_spaces_name>.home.services.spaces.live.com/whatsnewoptions/

In there you'll see two lists similar to the Allow & Block List in Messenger itself.

If that person appears in that list then it means that that person _is_ in one of the lists of your mom's Messenger account.

Probably in the Allow List. And if not, also check the Reverse List.
Allow List: Tools > Options > Privacy > ...
Reverse List: Tools > Options > Privacy > View > ...


If you're lucky then the person can be deleted from the Reverse List and thus consequently from all your other lists. For this you need to right click this contact in the list and choose "delete". But this will only work when that contact doesn't have your mom in his Contact List. If he does, the "Delete" menu item will be grayed out and he must first delete your mom from his Contact List before you can delete him.
