wow, I really don't know. The thing that keeps sticking out in my mind, though, is that this will be hard on the kids. They are the innocents in all this and if they're already crying for mommy and daddy, they are not going to understand her just dropping in then leaving again.
Another thing is, if she sees them, there's still no guarantee that she will turn herself in. She may run again, thinking she'd rather be out there running with a CHANCE to see them (in her mind) than in jail with no chance.
Hopefully, others will be along with advice.
Hugs and prayers!
