I have some experience in this area...from the legal side...in that I worked for a CAJD (court-appointed Juvenile Dependancy/Delinquency) attorney.
First of all, you NEED to request counsel for child and he will be appointed an attorney. As soon as you get the "green" sheet (or whatever color your state's is) call the attorney to schedule an appointment ASAP. I would also check to see what their experience/education is in the sexual abuse field...some have more experience than others.
You will be allowed to attend the meeting with your son, but the you will be asked to leave so the attorney can have private time with his/her client...do NOT have a fit about it, do NOT quiz the child about it either!
Is the alleged abuse did NOT occur in YOUR home, request that the child be returned to you.
Yes the state will prosecute as a Felony, but it's on a Juvenile level. The initial petition will seem confusing, because it will say something along the lines that if he were an adult, the charges would be blah, blah, blah. You also have to remember that the state is going after him on the maximum level because THAT is THEIR job and you know that if it were your child who was the "victim", you would be demanding it.
To answer your questions...it is "maybe" to both.
It's going to depend on your state's law. In my state, if a child is placed in "jail", CS stops. But if the child is placed in a "group/foster home", then you would BOTH pay CS to the people or person running the home. You would also NOT receive CS even though you would still retain legal custody.
I would also suggest that YOU send Grandma some money out of the CS you receive and YOUR pocket as she is feeding and housing YOUR child. Also, make sure child has clothes and toileties and whatever else Grandma might need to take care of him.

Does the custodial parent still get to claim a child on their taxes if they are in foster care or juvenille hall?

---> The CP would for this year since the child resided with them for over half of the year, but if the child spends more than 6 months in foster care of juvenile hall...no.

Why is a LD effecting his level of remorse and being able to differentiate between right and wrong? What kind of LD does he live with?

His LD is 100% comprehension. He knows the difference between right and wrong to an extent, but alot of the time, gets confused between right and wrong if that makes any sense. He doesn't comprehend sometimes what you tell him. It's really hard to explain

I have retained an attorney and the first hearing is a "placement hearing" I guess part of the necessary steps. I've been giving my mom money for expenses for my son. I also packed up all his belongings (clothes, etc...)
How do I find these specific laws. I did an internet search and unable to come up with anything.
I've been giving my mom money to cover any expenses from the current CS that I do receive.

Sorry, but if he can't always comprehend right from wrong and has already raped/molested a young girl, doesn't that make him a danger to society...and should perhaps be locked up instead of at Grandmas?

Was he at YOUR house, and molested your husbands child, or was he at the ex's, and molested his wife's child?
Also, where were the adults when this occured, if you know?

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

Not necessarily. He's also ADHD. He just made honor roll for the first time this past quarter (yes in special ed), plays baseball, helps the principal/teachers in school, helps at home. He's a very good boy, but not good enough apparently. Also when it comes down to explaining something, even thou he's 12, you have to talk down to him like he's 6 so he understands. Trust me, after years of research with ADHD with LD, it's really hard to explain

Wait a minute...I have a son who is 11 years old, has sever ADHD and a sever LD..He has been in special ed since 1st grade and also gets great grades...But he sure as heck knows that rapping his sister is a wrong, on some many different levels..Him being is sex-ed would have only reinforced how wrong this is...Why is he living with your mother and not in a psyc hospital?
