The mother of two missing children is pleading for an Amber Alert as the search continues in Lansdowne Station.

Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and four-year-old Jack Sullivan were last seen around 10 a.m. on Gairloch Road, according to the Pictou County District RCMP.

A vulnerable person’s alert was issued Friday morning, but no Amber Alert has been activated.

Their mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, is urging officials to escalate the search, fearing her children may have been taken.

“I want an Amber Alert for my children! I want my babies home,” Brooks-Murray said in a social media post.

Lily Sullivan is described as having shoulder-length light brown hair with bangs. She might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants, and pink boots.

Jack Sullivan is described as having short blondish hair. He’s wearing blue dinosaur boots.

No other clothing description is available.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston has issued a statement on the search for Lily and Jack Sullivan, recognizing the ongoing efforts of first responders and volunteers.

“People in Pictou County and across Nova Scotia are praying for a positive outcome for two missing children. During this time of worry, please know that our first responders and volunteers are working tirelessly during this 24/7 operation,” Houston said in a social media post.

Houston also noted the extensive resources involved in the search, including ground search and rescue teams, tracking dog services, drones, and aviation crews.

The statement also added that the Nova Scotia Guard, in its first official mission, has stepped up to assist with search efforts.

Volunteers have been working in shifts to support food distribution, equipment security, parking assistance, and directions for first responders.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Carlie McCann said the children are believed to have wandered off on Friday.

McCann also added that there is no evidence to suggest they were abducted. Because of this, she explained, an Amber Alert has not been issued.

We have reached out to the RCMP for comment and are awaiting a response.
