Jayda, Maverick and Ember Phillips were last physically seen on the 09/12/2021. They have been missing ever since, along with their Father, Thomas Phillips. Last seen by Thomas' parents (their grandparents) on their family farm near the small coastal town of Marokopa, New Zealand. 

Most of New Zealand will be familiar with this family, as a large-scale search was made after their first disappearance in September last year. Thomas' silver Toyota Hilux was found in the surf of Kiritehere Beach, 13km SW of the family farm, which sparked grave concerns for the Father and his 3 young children. After 17 long days of searching along the ragged coastline and through dense bush, the family re-appeared safe and well. 

They are now missing again. It has been nearly 4 months since they were last seen (114 days and counting) and all we want is to the see the children and Thomas safely returned to their family. 

I can understand the hesitation to initiate a search party resembling that of September 2021, but I cannot justify it to myself. It has been an extremely long time to have no guarantee if they are safe and well, or any idea where they are. We have gone from one extreme to another - a high profile search, reported on daily, to a multiple missing person's case that people are unaware of.

These children deserve better from those enlisted to protect and serve them, that's why I have decided to start this petition in hopes of getting the support they deserve.

Alone, my voice is small and insignificant.

With your support, I hope to influence the New Zealand Police, Oranga Tamariki, Ministry of Education, the Family Court and any others with the ability to help find them.
