Social services, what happens next?

I have NC and will try not to be too specific about this so not to 'out' the person in question.

An acquaintance has had their children removed from them after concerns were raised by a GP. The youngest child of 4 has been found to have a current broken bone along with injuries that have healed but were still visible on an xray. The mother admitted she could not account for the injuries. All the children have been taken by social services. Father walked out 6 months ago and mother has no contact with his family. What happens next? This has happened this morning and I have only just been informed by a family member. Will she be arrested? I presume the children have gone to temporary foster care? I have helped her financially in the past and given moral support. She moved into the next county around the time the father walked out so I haven't seen them for a while. I'm quite suprised and upset for the children. Sorry if I have missed any important information.

That poor poor baby. Either these injuries were inflicted or caused by neglect so the main thing now is to keep the children safe.
