So what are the criminal charges? The fact he was staying in the same home as his kids says quite a bit.

probably custodial interference, if not outright kidnapping. he did not have custody, aside from staying in the same foster home. relatives? don't know. he's a druggie, was deceased mom a druggie also? the state may have wanted to keep them together but under supervision.
