It would be an open invitation for these kind of allegations to get tossed around I would think.
Anyway not saying he's guilty or anything but in cases like this isn't it common for care to be given at the parents house or some at some kind of 3rd party location?

I know you expect thread starter to reply, but here's my thoughts:
My aunt has worked with special needs children and adults. Since her own children are already grown up, she sometimes has taken a teenage boy to her home to spend the weekend. I assume this is to give the parents a free weekend, I don't know about the family, but taking care of special needs children can be quite burdensome to parents and the best solution for them might be around someone familiar.
