Lily Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, were reported missing around 10 a.m. Friday. They were last seen on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station.

Police believe the siblings wandered away from their home and say there is no information to suggest they were abducted.

Martell says he and Malehya Brooks-Murray asked Lily and Jack to quiet down on Friday morning to let the baby sleep.

He estimates it took up to 20 minutes to notice the two children were gone.

“A few minutes went by, I heard nothing. Got up, went out in the kitchen, checked everything, I seen they weren’t there. Checked their bedrooms and they weren’t there. So I looked out the backyard, that’s the only other place they would go, and their boots were gone. The door, the sliding door, was closed. Usually they don’t close the door, I usually have to remind them, remind them to close the door over and over,” he says.

Martell says he then jumped in his vehicle and started looking for them.

But it would have to be officially diagnosed first for them to do that. Also, they would need to know the extent of how much intervention they might need. Just because they are on the spectrum, that doesn't mean they need any special intervention.

It just makes sense to me that problems at school would be a reason to evaluate their homelives.
 
I'm not even sure I knew Canada had Amber Alerts. I thought it was a U.S. thing and yes it has changed to needing certain criteria although I did find out awhile back, our state isn't quite as strict on such as some or doesn't have the same.

That is pretty much standard, no vehicle, suspect, etc.

I find it odd that he was bent on abduction and wanted the borders patrolled, etc., yet he said they wandered off.

Yep absolutely nothing still adding up here...
 
Personally I don't have a clue how CPS works in Canada, perhaps others do. I'm still surprised it was even shared. Unless anyone does, I think it a bit of a moot point.

Clearly it was thought they weren't on par with where they should be at that age for whatever reason, at minimum.

Their bio dad was not involved, bio grandma was involved til mom met this mom wasn't it said and cut her off...

It leads me to more suspicion of what was going on in the home.

However, I've seen plenty of caring parents not teach their kids anything before they are off to school and these days most know a lot when they start. Even back when. I did and that was decades ago. Nowadays thought I'd say it is almost expected.

The autism thing keeps coming up but there never was a diagnosis if one can believe who says that.

Even if we learn something, this case gives no answers really so far. Very frustrating. Imo.

Can you highlight which article states they evaluated their autism from their home life? I must have missed that. Also, they had only been at their current home just over two years.

The video states there were concerns from their school that there were developmental problems which prompted the home assessments.

"A bit of a moot point"? The reason I addressed it is because an irresponsible, reckless reporter put out half-assed info that a welfare agency assessed the children.

The minister or head or whoever he was addressed it, it wasn't just some reporter. I was saying it is not typical these things come out, but I don't know Canada, and unless anyone knows why it came out, etc. we can't know. Was it put out as strategy? Did he speak because of that? Or was it going to leak or did so they countered it?

We are missing each other clearly in that one.

He confirmed what some reporter had already found out, which amounts to entirely useless info that causes nothing but harm.

Well you aren't getting me I don't think but that's kind of what I mean by moot point. If we don't know enough or if it relates, then it somewhat is for now. Of course now we know so are going to think of such. Things are being argued though that also don't have answers and I for one don't know much about Canadian rules or laws about such things. Like when CPS gets involved or school and much more.

Oh, I think I did misunderstand what you meant. Sorry!

No problem. Never is. Not even sure I still explained well. Just not sure any of us with the debate really know the answers with Canada for one. Heck I was surprised to hear they had the Amber Alert, always thought that was a US thing. I've followed a few cases there but think all or most were adults.

You know, it's an issue that LE didn't use that alert, that they'd put out some other notice elsewhere instead, but my thought about that is that they should've and asap.

I have my opinion about the Alert even here, I think it should go out far more often but the criteria is fairly typical, they had no description of a vehicle, an abductor, etc. same things goes on here. Not disagreeing. Just saying it is pretty typical. I'm also again kind of surprised Canada has it and basically follows the rules most do here.

I found out a few months bac, can't recall what case, that my state is actually a bit more lenient with issuing an Amber Alert so it also can vary.

It certainly isn't the way in most cases it was intended to be when first passed.
