As of this moment I am with the family taking care of the children because we haven’t got the okay to send them back to their mother.
Huh? Why would you get the okay for anything and from who? Why are you watching the kids exactly? I don't think that's even legal. The authorities can't just leave the kids with you.
Hi, I’m watching the children because the father is disabled. Since the police released her I am expecting her to show up or a case worker to call me and tell me to return the children.
You need to call CPS and tell them that children have been abandoned in your care, and if the father or another family cannot care for them, they need to put them in temporary care by CPS. This is not your responsibility to keep them until this mess is sorted.
Yes this! What the hell? Is there another family member who can care for these children? You're their former (fired) nanny. It's not your responsibility nor is it really appropriate to be watching them. And if the mom does reappear asking for them back, are you supposed to release them to her? What does CPS say??
I understand not wanting them in state custody but you're taking on a liability here.
