Needing support - 2 days of hell.

I will start with a backstory, I imagine it will be short because this only happened yesterday. I had a telephone call from my mum to tell me dad had been arrested.
following this, police were calling me, informed me he had been charged with sexual communications with a minor.
I've had police attend my daughters school to check in with her (fortunately, they are sure my daughter has not been affected)
I've had a social services referral and telephone call today , they advised that I'm doing everything to safeguard my children and I've cut contact.. however said that they needed to check in with the school, police and mentioned that they were asked to do a DBS on me (although unclear who asked for this or why as I'm no way involved!) they even stated they didn't know why as it isn't anything to do with something I have been arrested for.
Later today, I then get a phone call telling me my dad has attempted to take his own life and is critical, slim chances of survival.
I don't know how I'm expected to react.. I also don't know what happens here.. Will the investigation continue? Will they still post something in the media if they see fit? I don't know how to explain this to my kids and after these last two days I'm not sure I can deal with anything else!
