If you have court-ordered timesharing with the children in PA, you should exercise that timesharing. Once you have the children, you could file a modification petition in the court of jurisdiction along with an emergency motion to temporarily keep the children on the grounds that their safety is at risk if they were to be returned to the father. Of course, you do not need to have the children in your custody in order to file a modification petition. You could also contact the Department of Children and Families in the jurisdiction where the children live with their father, and inform them of the abuse and mistreatment. While it may or may not be parental kidnapping (depending upon all the circumstances), it would not be wise to simply pick up the children and remove them from their father's court-ordered timesharing unless they are at imminent risk of physical harm. Ylou should definitely contact an attorney to assist and guide you with these matters.
