Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

foster care in virginia

my friend was a foster mom til they fired her and got her up on possible child neglect were she was in a wreck. the girl is 17 will be 18 in 6 months and in foster care. They are accusing her for medical neglect and not reporting her being in a wreck. The female was seen by medical person and was treated but refused transport to er and her neighbor is a rn and came over and wrapped her arm up.. Nothing was wrong just surface scrathes. She did report later about this. How can DSS get her on neglect saying she didnt recieve care when she really did she just didnt go to hospital because there was no need in going. Also, there tring to accuse the 17 y/o girl of having a relationship with a 26 y/o male but there just friends. He works law enforcement and is just tring to help her get in the right direction and thats all nothing else. Even the foster mom told them hes just a friend and has been for years but they dont believe a 26 y/o would just want to be friends. How can they accuse the person when they have no proof of anything other than the girl was in a wreck with him because she was with a female friend and they broke down and they called her bf and the 26 y/o to pick them up. Its just a big mess that dosent need to be
