Gitana or PensFan would probably best be able to answer this but couldn't the lawyers petition the court to have him moved to an inpatient setting where he could receive some therapy or support? Even if he isn't guilty, IF likely isn't walking away from this unscathed and the sooner he begins to get help the better.
This would be a tough call because the lawyers and parents are proclaiming his innocence. I don't think the attorneys would want a therapist talking to IF about the circumstances when there is a ongoing investigation and criminal case. The records may be admissible in court and could potentially hurt their case.
I do find it unfortunate that treatment is being delayed. I'm a firm believer that delaying treatment for a traumatic situation (guilt/or no guilt) is detrimental to a individuals mental health.
Gosh....I certainly hope the other children in the family are receiving counseling.
