Orphaned Mute Swan cygnets

We have four Mute Swan cygnets - approximately 3 months of age - which have been orphaned. Actually, it appears someone "put down" the adults because the male attacked a small child which got too near the cygnets. Whoever took the mating pair, left the young ones on their own, so I can't imagine it was any professional group (like FWC).

What can we do to save these young cygnets who are swimming around looking for their parents? What can/should we feed them?? Please help us.
