4 children and their mother experiencing domestic and family violence

A young family are experiencing significant domestic and family violence and need additional support. Four children, aged 9, 3, 2, and 6 months and their mother are experiencing instability within their lives due to their father's/ex-partner's choice to be violent. The children's mother is trying her best to safeguard the children from experiencing the father's violence however he continues to perpetrate.

The father is consistently in and out of jail due to his violence and is currently in the community. The father has stolen the mother's car to engage in criminal activity and now the children have no way to get to and from school and day-care. The car had 3 of the children's car seats installed and the baby's new pram. Mum has worked hard to create a safe and stable home environment for the children and ensure they are all enrolled in education however now the father's actions are impacting this.
