Help Need Advice

My son is 15 and has autism, he has gone to the same school for 11 years. He lives with both me and my mother who are both disabled. Anyway 1week before Christmas 22, there was knock at door. there on the step were the police and a safeguarding teacher from my sons school, who then told me that my son had been raped 7 times over the week by 2 fellow students. For months, people came to our house to either talk about the case or psychologists to help the family. Then my son was given a social worker who took an instant dislike to my mum. The next thing is we're getting dragged to court for neglect, emotional harm and blurred sexual boundaries. The school started reporting that my son was touching other students, that he was hungry. filthy etc. Remember he's been in this school for 11 yrs and they only "noticed the neglect" after he was assaulted at school.
So we went to court and they got an interim care order whilst gathering evidence. We now have supervision in out house everyday from 7am-9am then 4pm-10pm. This supervision is in the 9th week. They see my son for approx 5 mins and they basically watch boxsets with my mum. We asked for supervision to end at 8pm instead of just saying no they dragged us to court for instant removal of my son because of noncompliance.
I was seriously brain damaged having my son, which has left me physically disabled. My mum grew up in care where she sexually abused since 3 and beaten by the Foster mother, because of this she wanted to give children in care a positive experience and was a Foster carer for the local authority for over 15yrs, she only gave it up when she had to bring me and my son home.
We've got absolutely no family, it's just the 3 of us and all our friends live all over the country. We've asked for help from social services for years, help with housework and getting my son out of the house. And when all this is going on my mum is getting investigated for cancer as she woke up a few months ago blind in 1 eye and dizzy. Can anybody help, my solicitor just says yes to anything the local authority ask for and we've done absolutely nothing wrong, it's the school trying to blame us for their failure and I'm not being hyperbolic but i think the stress is going to kill my mum. My son has been adamant that he's happy at home, that were a great mum and nan and he actually wrote a letter to the judge saying if he's removed he'll commit suicide, and that breaks my heart. They say they've got no money to put support in for us but they've spent 1000's on a bogas case. Has anyone got any advice. Thank you.
