I would think you might get away with paying your children back the money you borrowed from them but I think you need benefits advice.

An issue with that route is would the children legally be able to lend the parents the money, if the parents took it without that consent then it's theft.

More likely that the money was spent on the children's needs, EG not making them homeless or buying food or clothes, that  would mean the money isn't repayable.

I agree on needing expect benefit advice. 

Yeah it’s a bit dodgy.
