Answer:
Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell from your information what question you need answered. However, we can presume you may want information about any remedies available to you for the alleged mistreatment of your son while in foster care and/or a residential education facility.
The Virginia department of social services (DSS) is responsible for administration of the foster care program and residential placement.
Local agencies are required to pursue a foster care goal that will achieve permanent living arrangements for your child as quickly as possible. You and the local department of social services should be working together on your child's service plan, where your child's goal and the method for achieving it is described. If you disagree with the service plan, you can work with your attorney to make your view known to the court.
The Virginia statutes also provide for special education law that requires, as you know, a fair and appropriate education for all students.
Unfortunatley, the facts you have relayed in your question are quite complex and will require review by an experienced education law attorney in your area.
