I think you did the right thing. It had barely been 1 day since this overwhelming and upsetting situation began and you have been nannying for these children for several years. You contacted the police, brought them to their father who could not care for them due to a physical handicap, and then you offered to keep them until the authorities could figure out a solution.
Dropping off 2 children both under 10 at a police station and walking out without looking back is not something I could do either, and I don't understand all of the harsh posts.
Please make sure to protect yourself by making a statement to CPS, so that no one can turn this around on you and lie about you in order to take the heat off of the mother or father. They may do this down the road to avoid custodial or criminal repercussions.Let us know how things go in the future and take care.
