I hope they find the kits (if there are any... it is the season and could explain the attacks) and relocate the family.

will likely result in the demise of all concerned. Wild animals usually have a tough time surviving as it is - dumping them in unfamiliar territory that may well be inhabited by other foxes or competing species makes survival very much harder. And abandonment of the kits by the mother is likely in any case.
