The two kittens are back with the mother cat, at least for tonight. I wish I could bring them all home, at least till the kittens are old enough to be homed. But I don't have any way of keeping them separate from my three - and Pablo sulked for two years the last time I introduced another cat to the household. He's eight years old now, and I promised myself that I wouldn't put him through that again.
Might try contacting the local cat society (I think there is one) to see if they could take her and the kittens for a few weeks - keep them safe. Once the kittens are homed, I'm planning on getting the mother neutered anyway, and will go on feeding her regularly - I know it's not ideal for her to be on the streets, but unless I can find someone to adopt her, then that's the best I can do.
And yes, I completely agree with you about adults giving in to children who throw tantrums. It's incredibly bad for the child to be allowed to get away with it. This particular child has certainly learnt to use it to her advantage. *sigh*
