Court not protecting the child

I would love some advice on a very sensitive subject I am going to change details for extra anonymity and keep it brief as possible.

Primary school aged child is currently in foster care while case is going through the courts.

Allegations are against dad for SA- I have seen this behaviour and am part of court case, so know this is true- father also has previous SA complaints from older kids/teens/adults. Child is allowed supervised visitation to father. Child claims SA is from mum and mum has supervised visits too. From what myself and other witness have gathered and from small conversations from child protection services dad has groomed child long enough for her to believe this and that her brain has blocked out anything her dad has done (again I have witnessed things she denies). She loves her dad and has an obsession with him, hates her mum whole heartedly.

That’s the best background I can give without giving anyone who knows the situation any reason to know who I’m discussing. I’m really struggling with this
-child’s behaviour she is best friends with my child and as the court case has dragged on the child has become rude and and a down right bully. I am at the point I want nothing to do with her-nor does my child- but I feel horrible because I know her acting out is due to what she’s been through and she’s still to young to actually do better

-what we’ve gathered from child protections is that dad is winning case and good chance of getting full custody- how when there’s eye witnesses- but due to this child’s denial and claims against mum he is looking at winning full custody. He also has history of this- not the first time he’s gone to court with SA for minor claims.
