Why Would My Mother Cat Move Her Babies?
She has moved them from under my bed to on top of my bed, well with in reach of my 2 young sons. Why would she put them here and not leave them under the bed where they are safe?

It is an old saying that a mother cat moves her newly born about 7 times and then she is satisfied. The reason is simple, Male cats tend to kill new born kittens so that the female cat is again available for coitus, but mother cat changes position of kittens so that the male cat is not able to track down the kittens by their smell..
Hope I've satisfied your question...

Generally she moves the litter around for safety. I'm sure she will move them again. Try creating a nice, warm place that the mother kitty will find easily and might move her litter to. Perhaps a nest of blankets in a closet or other secure location, with food for mom nearby.

Thanks for ur answers. I moved them onto the floor on some blankets and mummy cat wasnt impressed. She has kept them there tho... This is the first time she has moved them. I do have a male cat too (he is one of her first babies from another litter she had) and he hasnt gone near them.
Thanks heaps for ur answers.
