Ignore them and expect them to die? That's what happens to most stray kittens that don't get notable care (shots/vet care, food, shelter), in my experience. It sucks (super fucking hard), but after a while you also get used to it. Sorta'.
If you want them to live, find someone to take care of them, either you or someone else. They'll need decent shelter, mother will need food etc. if she doesn't abandon them, pretty likely they'll need vet care at some point (infections are not uncommon for younger cats, often deadly if not treated, and using easily available antibiotics or whatever is risky 'cause they don't come in kittendose). It's not hugely burdensome, but it is some effort and cash, especially if your local area doesn't have much low income animal care support. Most of it's just keeping them from wandering around outside and getting killed by something and feeding them, anything fancier probably needs vet care if you don't feel like gambling with dosages and diagnosis and whatnot.
If you'd rather just let nature take its course, well... nature can do that, too. Most or all the kittens are fairly likely to die, though. If they live near you, investing in a decent sized dustpan or shovel can be good to eventually move the kittycorpse. Failing that, keep a plastic bag around as a pseudo glove that also works as disposal container.
), but not much, and it didn't cause anything in the way of worse accuracy afterwards.
