I'm sorry to hear about your friend's situation. Unlike Korea, these types of matters are considered very serious. First, there should be bond set for your friend. As such, if the family can post the bail money to get him out that would be great. I'm not sure what the charges are, it could just be child abuse or something more serious like attempted murder. Regardless, cases can be defended so your friend should hire an attorney as soon as possible. Please tell him not to give any information or statement about the night to anyone in order to preserve defense strategy.
As for the children, legal procedures must be taken such as a hearing to release them to the mother's custody. This has to be done as soon as possible too. That procedure is different than the court procedure for the father. Not knowing much more, there is a decent chance to get the kids home soon. Of course, if the kids say they don't want to go home because they are afraid for their safety, that would make the matter worse and difficult.
If the family needs legal representation, they could certainly contact my office at any time.
