Pretty sure the kids were at a school close enough to his home that they could have been taken daily.
There's always going to be loopholes- at the same unit I worked with 4 guys who all lived 30 miles from the station, all were on days permanently so they car shared but they all claimed 60 miles home to duty every day!
It all depends on whether the poster will sign the "mobility" form. To my mind those in receipt of CEA should be top of the list for postings that are out of the way!
As for example 2 that is fraud-the H2D form had a clear declaration which precluded that sort of thing, in fact I remember a CM of a Sgt and Cpl for exactly that; that said latterly they did change the rules to allow passenger mileage claims for H2D.
