These kinds of arrests are publicly accessible so - the info can easily get out

Personally, I think you have every reason to be very concerned about the children and your son is so entrenched in the situation that he is not thinking clearly. I would tell your son that he has already made you a party to the information and you cannot just "unhear" it. I would make him explain exactly how she is going to get help, ie. rehab and if he cannot give you specific information on that, then I would tell him that he has to find a way to insure the children's safety while he is at work. She has to be in a program and I would verify that is truly happening. If she is not in rehab and making progress, then the children are at risk. Since your son confided in you, you have knowledge that the children are in a potentially unsafe environment. He has put you in the position of having to address the children's safety to protect yourself as well. I think you know what you need to do if your son chooses to roll the dice and not address this head on. It will involve a call to child protective services. You can do it anon and as long as you don't divulge that you did it, CPS is not allowed to reveal your identity. Arrest records are easily accessible, so it could be anyone. If you have to call CPS, be prepared to make decisions in the event the children are removed from the gf custody. That may entail placement with your son if he is willing to comply with the CPS rules about limiting contact with the gf until she is deemed fit. If he is not willing to comply with those rules, then they will likely explore placement with a relative and last resort, foster care.
This is very serious and I hope your son realizes that whatever you do, you have to do because he has confided in you and you have a responsibility to act on what could be a child endangerment/neglect situation.
Good luck with your decision and let us know what happens.

ps. I used to work with CPS.
