Goldfish live horrible lives in fish bowls. It is a little like being forced to live in a closet for your whole life.
Turning them loose is a bad idea because they are an invasive species in some areas and can destroy local fish populations.
Your mother was wise and ahead of her time. Back then no one cared about goldfish. They were a disposable pet like the red eared slider turtles.
Paris Aquarium has done a wonderful thing for gold fish. Hundreds have already been turned in and are living as they were meant to live.

I hope many other aquariums follow their example. Goldfish everywhere need to be rescued.
