Phx,
The wheel broke upon take off doesn't suggest the wheel came off. It simply says that there was a fault and the wheel was broken.
US Airways ought to have a policy which addresses how this will be handled. Keeping the children in the office at the airport was a money saving measure. This allowed the airline to provide supervision without having to pay extra staff to "babysit" the kids at a hotel.
This may have been the best or only solution. At the minimum, the airline should have a policy of calling the parents and agreeing the most suitable solution. If the parents were unhappy with the kids on the floor of an office, then the airline should have paid for a hotel.
