The case of missing siblings Lily and Jack Sullivan sits so close to my heart, having children around the same age.
It’s heartbreaking to think we’ve now reached the one-month mark with no answers or solid leads as to what happened to them.

Something that strikes me as odd in this case is how few people directly involved have spoken out, despite many in the community caring enough to advocate for the children.

Daniel’s mother and brother stayed on the property, yet never once spoke to the media — not even to share what they may have heard or seen that morning. Apparently, Daniel’s mother was taking a nap. But where was the brother?

The biological father has also remained silent and hasn’t seen or heard from the kids in months. His mother claims that Mallaya has been keeping the children away and won’t even tell them where they’re living.

We also never heard from a single teacher at the children’s school — Soul Springs Elementary. It’s concerning that the school didn’t make any post about the missing siblings until two days ago, when it became public that a community prayer vigil was being held for Jack and Lily.

Only then did they share a brief message:

“We are grateful that the community continues to bring awareness to the search for Jack and Lily. We were asked to share this event with the school community should people wish to participate.”

They turned off the comments on that post.

Some are saying that teachers are banned from speaking out publicly on sensitive matters like this — but we’ve seen in many other missing children cases that teachers, neighbors, and friends have spoken out. The silence in this case is alarming.

Daniel was present at the prayer vigil, along with the biological paternal grandmother. It was a beautiful vigil filled with candles, teddy bears, and the loving support of a community that refuses to give up on Jack and Lily.
