OK, you asked, my two cents: Don't throw anything away, no matter how disgusting - it will be needed later.
Be on the doorstep of some lawyer first thing Monday morning -- as in greet him at the door on his way in. Preferably a family law type, but I would not waste time if I couldn't come up with one you can't get to by tomorrow, you can change lawyers later if need be and the one you visit should refer you to someone if this is outside his area.
Yes I would complain to the cops. As Kutnupe says, they probably won't do anything if there isn't a clear crime to investigate (yet), but gets you on record (at least I hope they at least put you in the blotter) as the complainant when SHTF later.
Your lawyer should be able to advise your son on how to protect the kids, but if for some reason you can't get with one right away, I would move myself and the kids to somewhere else, not tell any neighbors or friends the address, and seriously consider keeping them out of school until can obtain lawyer's advice.
I wouldn't engage in any extra-legal activity, especially violence-oriented, that makes you and your son the bad guys and looks she was right to try to leave.
Best wishes, what a crazy deal.
IANAL, go find one first thing tomorrow.
