“She and the boy wandered off into the distance and haven’t been seen since.”

The pair are believed to be in or around the Labrador and Southport areas, “possibly in a park, shopping centre or other public area”.

Superintendent Sheldon added the pair are “probably being assisted by friends” in Brisbane, Tweed Heads or possibly Ballina.

Ms Mostyn does not have a car or a mobile phone, according to Detective Acting Inspector Greg Aubort.

“Jessica may be in a state that she’s elevated or upset,” he said.

“We don’t want her to be in a case where she feels the need to hide.”

Police confirmed Ms Mostyn had gone missing in January, however had returned home “safe and well less than 48 hours later”.

“There are occasions where people in good faith are trying to help, but they’re not even aware that someone is missing or reported missing,” Inspector Greg Aubort said.

Ms Mostyn is described as caucasian, 164cm tall with a shaved head and medium build.

She was last seen wearing a blue hoodie with maroon trackpants.

Her son is described as caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and quote reference number QP2300180308.
