You need to contact DCFS as soon as possible and let them know that she is demanding to see the kids. DCFS instructions trump a visitation and/or custody order and violating their instruction can be detrimental to your BF's sole custody. The police did the right thing provided that didn't make you turn over the kids to her. If some policeman tells you to do that insist on speaking to a supervisor and ask them to contact DCFS directly.
