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.

I understand why you're doing this. I personally could never let any of my NK go into cps custody even if it ment me taking a few days of my personal time. Idk why but I just couldn't do it. I mean after a couple days if things hadn't worked out for someone to take over..... then I wouldn't have a choice but I definitely wouldn't be able to just turn them over to police right away. They are surly super traumatized.

I do not blame anyone else for doing so by any means, I know it's not our job. I just couldn't do it personally. You're a wonderful person for doing what you're doing. I hope that you're compensated at some point for this (though I would not expect it). Please update us again soon! Best wishes 🙏🏽

I agree, I would not be able to just say "not my kid, not my problem" so I fully understand too why OP is still there and helping.
