Another option is to locate daddy immediately and get him involved.
Re: kids
One solution would be to report this to Child Protective Services, but you might never see the children again and they might not go to a better place. So, I suggest you talk to a lawyer about filing for custody. That is something that can be managed and reversed if she ever cleans up her act. Good Luck.
