Cid becomes a mob boss in the future with a prosthetic jaw and telekinetic abilities, or loosely referred to throughout the film as a "TK" or telekinetically-able person.
He closes all loops, including old Joseph Simmons , as the result of his mother's death thirty years prior. As a child, he is portrayed by actor Pierce Gagnon. He was not seen as an adult and only mentioned. Cid was born in the year to his mother Sara Emily Blunt and a unnamed father. The way it works is the Looper's future self is sent to the past the present from the movie's perspective and the present looper kills themself.
They then go on living their life until 30 years later when they're grabbed and sent back and killed. When a person is sent back they are usually masked, the loopers usually shoot the second they see someone appear. It also seems to be a part of the job to not look at who they just killed. There's a conversation in the movie about the future bosses closing out the loops. It's never mentioned that Abe actually decides when a loop is closed, or have any say in it at all. It was told that in the future the bad guy the rainmaker took over and started closing loops.
We just see the part where the Rainmaker took over and started closing ALL of the loops. It's not alluded to though that Abe makes any decisions on when a loop is closed, he just manages the loopers to make sure everything goes without a hitch and that they close their own loop. Like DForck42 already answered on how a Looper contract works, one who chooses the Looper profession also chooses to kill himself somewhere in future and to have a rich life from that moment on for only 30 more years.
On your question update, taking the Abe example: in the movie, it is never implied that Abe makes decisions on closing loops.
But suppose he did, then the answer is very simple: he just has to remember to send that Looper back in time. It surely is his own decision; all he needs is a calendar.

Young Joe had already started down a path of emotional growth and change, meaning he could never become the Old Joe we meet — yet when Young Joe kills himself, poof! Old Joe is gone as if they are directly tied to one another.
Looper crafts a very good story out of a wild sci-fi premise, and while it dodges a lot of its own potholes scene-to-scene, when viewed from a distance its clear that Rian Johnson has not yet cracked the time travel movie conundrum. Kofi Outlaw blogs at Screen Rant.

We believe news can and should expand a sense of identity and possibility beyond narrow conventional expectations. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it.
