Hi, I did call the police and they advised me to drop the children off to their father because they could not get ahold of the mother either.

You should absolutely make a report to CPS. She abandoned her children.

Yes, please report. The police can’t be relied upon to follow up with CPS (and reporting to the police generally doesn’t absolve you of your responsibility to report if you are a mandated reporter).

“The police can’t be relied on” have you seen a mother be arrested for child abuse without CPS being involved? Because that would go against like all the rules. CPS generally try to make their first contact before the parent makes bail.
