Despite (or because of) everything I've been going through with my openness of my son's adoption (through foster care and he's also 10).... I would set up a meeting with him in a neutral location.
Let her see him, let her say bye. She's asking. Make it neutral and make sure she understands that she can't name her school or tell her address.
Set any other ground rules with him on what you do not want him talking about. It was not HIS fault that she was removed.
It's one visit.
If her behavior flares up afterwards, it will eventually settle down. But if he does pass at least she had her chance to see him.
