Sydney mother and her two children disappear from Shalvey in Blacktown

A search is underway for a mother and her two young children who went missing on the way to school drop-off in Sydney’s west.

Brittney Inwood-Hamilton, 26, and her two children, Noah Hamilton, 6, and Ruby Hamilton, 4 have not been heard from since Monday morning with grave fears for their safety.

The family was last seen leaving a home on Hennesy Crescent in the Blacktown suburb of Shalvey at about 8am Monday.

Loved ones raised the alarm with police when they never made it back home from the school run and were unable to be reached.

Ms Inwood-Hamilton’s sister Kiarna took to social media to ask for help.

‘Was meant to be taking kids to school but they never arrived,’ she said.

‘If anyone has seen or heard from my sister Brittney or her kids Noah and Ruby please message me.

‘Very out of character, my sister and her two children are missing.’

NSW Police also put out a call for the public’s help saying they ‘hold concerns for all three missing people due to their ages and this being out of character’.

The family is known to frequent the Blacktown, Guildford, Wilmont, Quakers Hill, Shalvey and Mt Druitt areas.
