I agree with what others have said, the kids are probably far better off with you than with CPS. I don't think calling them would improve the situation at all. However, calling the mother and threatening to call CPS might be enough to scare her ass back home, and at the very least give her a chance to give you a reasonable explanation, whatever that could be. Keep in mind that she may not even know at this point that the older boys are overwhelmed and have involved you.

I would get her number from the oldest boy, wait until Saturday, and then have a frank chat with her, whether she comes to get them or you have to call her.
