Holmes was responsible for four children under the age of 16.
On April 18, Holmes was arrested and charged with four separate counts of assault, ill-treatment, neglect and abandonment of child or young person to cause unnecessary suffering or injury.
All four children are being cared for by Waltham Forest Social Services.
