Missing NS Children: Police Ruling Out Abduction Raises Concerns
Three weeks have passed since the mysterious disappearance of two young siblings, Jack and Lily Sulivan, aged six and four, from their home in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia. Reported missing on the morning of May 2, the absence of any significant developments has left the community in turmoil and questioning the police’s initial assessment of the case.
Authorities have stated that they believe the siblings may have "wandered away," a determination that many, including former law enforcement officials, consider a significant assertion given the circumstances. Ex-police officer comments highlight concerns that classifying the situation as a mere case of wandering instead of a potential abduction may have led to a lack of urgency in the search efforts.
Experts are now scrutinizing the implications of the police’s decision to rule out abduction early on. This approach could downplay the seriousness of the situation, potentially complicating the recovery efforts. As the days stretch on without leads or clear direction, the community is increasingly anxious about the safety of the young children and what might have transpired in the intervening weeks.
In the absence of concrete information from law enforcement, concern continues to mount. Many in Nova Scotia are left wondering not only about the whereabouts of Jack and Lily but also about the broader implications of how such cases are handled. The silence from authorities is deafening, prompting calls for greater transparency and more proactive measures in cases involving missing children.
As the search continues, the chilling reality of two young children missing in a seemingly quiet community lingers in the hearts and minds of residents. With every passing day, hope wanes, but the desire for answers grows stronger, as everyone holds onto the hope of bringing Jack and Lily home safe.

USA prays for Lilly and Jack — there's something very wrong here.
Building a case ,obtaining evidence takes time. I just hope they find them…
🙏💞
Not 1 but 2. I agree its very hard to control not 1 but 2 humans. I also think the rain and weather has impacted the search. Praying they are found❤❤
As soon as that stepdad kept co-operating and opening his mouth, especially about a polygraph test, and the dogs not being able to find anything, foul play was everywhere pointing to that creepy stepdad. The mother going away? Why? Take the dogs into that house! They'll find the little bodies there! It's too perfect!
I pray for there safe return
Until we are told what happened, with evidence, I will withhold judgement. It doesn’t help anyone to speculate.
Search the homes of everyone at the party
I'm blown away how much people continue to be fixated on abduction and trafficking. Y'all keep saying "Well there's no evidence they weren't. Well it happens sometimes in NS." That's the entirety of your argument. You don't have evidence it happened, you just fear it happened. Just because something is possible, doesn't mean it happened, especially when there is good evidence to the contrary. I see a lot of people using the scent trail to justify this theory; but the scent trail to the end of the driveway doesn't mean they walked that far and got into a car. That was also the route they walked from the bus to their house on Tuesday. So it's not even evidence of anything. Anyone I've encountered that has some knowledge of true crime and knows how the authorities operates, knew immediately those kids were not taken.
REMEMBER FOLKS: We now know that government and police LIED about Danforth to protect minorities. We know they LIED about the mass shootings put east to hide the mass sums of money moved in cash between banks and the shooter (a method reserved for informants). They LIED about those involved in the drug raids of FOUR different MPs family homes.
They are always lying to the public. People tolerate too much from police cover ups
👀
Honestly I think an animal got them or a couple animals got them
There are no real journalists any more.
I would never trust the RCMP in Eastern Canada, or at all really. They are an organization known to cover for their own
So they weren’t at school ,both for a full week before the police were called about them missing,to me that’s a huge red flag
Why no immediate amber alert? Why no immediate collection of cameras? Why no use of cadaver dog? Only a few of the many whys.
They were killed by someone in the family, and theyre waiting for a slip of the tongue
There still hasnt been any mention of the biological father
What mother up and leaves the family home when her 2 young children go missing ? Ask yourself, look at.the living environment, not conducive to a nurturing upbringing. Junk yard for a play ground. The children are gone.❤
Check when they had heavy lift
Let the armchair sleuths comment.
It is a huge wet forest.Finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack.And no body talks about animals – like bears or cougers killing them! I think that is sadly what happened or abduction- thats why their scent stops at the end of driveway.😭😭😭😭
Any person can be abducted it doesn't have to be below 18 or somebody who's vulnerable. Israel Keys abducted adults.
Quite odd that neighbors trail cam pics have no animals.. or anything in them. I use trail cameras and wind blowing vegetation will trip them…but still odd. Blue barrel is a bear baiting site. No spring season in Nova Scotia. But if baited in fall.. bears will get used to hanging around bait sites. Just an observation about the added dangers of bears in the area.
I remember when Shasta and Dylan were kidnapped but there was a homicide in the home actually a multiple homicides because a stranger had been driving by and saw them from the highway in the pool and decided he wanted a little girl so he took the girl and the brother the next morning. He staked out the house overnight and stole them. If this is the case in this scenario I think it would have to be somebody that knows the family that is familiar with the children where the kids would actually come right into the trap.
Shasta and Dillon were kidnapped by a complete stranger but that was because he scoped them out from a highway. This area is so remote I don't think you would just come upon them without knowing they were there.
Why is the mother never mentioned? 😵💫
Who knew, Nova Scotian cops are actually useless 😂
I don't think we can rule out the mother arranging for a relative to pick them up prior to her leaving the step father. Maybe that is why she went to visit family, to check on the kids.
The fact no trace has been found is the real clue to me….even if an animal had killed those children there would be evidence and good search dogs would have found it. Two children don't just disappear by walking into the woods. A 4 and 6 year old could not have gone very far in that rough terrain and it was supposedly only a couple of hours, according to the parents, from the time they realized they were gone until they called authorities. I predict the parents are responsible or someone picked those kids up at the end of the driveway. Maybe the kids were waiting on the school bus thinking it was a school day.
The fact that the "mother" decided to leave instead of staying looking like crazy for her children "lost in the woods" tells me everything i need to know
They should have been looking at the parents long ago
Im no cop but watch alot of crime shows…. everyone knows what happened.
The father.
So the money couldn’t find them
just like the adopted West boys…we all knew
I don’t feel like these little guys just wandered off 😢
I don’t feel like these little guys just wandered off 😢where is their father?
Obviously an abduction
It might be the parents?
RCMP failed this family. They couldve had the FBI send someone to perform a lie detector test within hours of this “disappearance”. They didnt issue an amber alert. They wouldnt allow the families ( according to the grandmother) to contact media. They even spelled Lillys name wrong. Dont get me started on the Land Acknowledgement before announcing they were stopping the original search. Canadians should be furious.
We can always rely on the RCMP to bungle an investigation; this is what they do best. Look at the RCMP's track record across the country!
Find these kids
Who cares!
Children go missing everyday in the world.
Maybe watch your children closely?
The odds of a pair of siblings being abducted in rural Nova Scotia is 1 in 10 million.
Foul play, or they were sold or really got lost, but it’s been 3 weeks they haven’t found them… it’s bad.
Everyone trying to prove they were right, so dumping on the police now.
When you ask the streetwise drifter they will tell you these aren't the only kids missing like this and rumor is its a cop taking them which is why the search is botched and public misinformed
