So very sorry to hear you are dealing with this. You are 100% correct that her behavior is unacceptable.
On a positive note, you are very mature for your age and reaching out here was a terrific idea
I second the suggestion of having your mom take a look at the websites referenced. If she won't perhaps print the content, staple it together and give it to her to read. This will be an attempt to change her behavior through education... which may or may not work
You could, calmly, and not in an argumentative way, try to ask her why she believes this type of "training" is acceptable. It may give you some perspective on her thought process - not to validate it - but to give you ideas on how to possibly re-orient her thinking
Finally, I would suggest emphasizing that since it is your pup that you want to be the sole person responsible for his training and care. And that she should not be involved. I also agree with the prior poster who said that when you are not home to have him crated, perhaps in your room so he is safe.
