Good riddance of the week

Its not funny, there is always the possibility they will come home radicalised and try and blow themselves up Four Lions style

There are a lot of questions I'd like to hear answered from a lot of different groups.

• School - What did they do to combat radicalization in the light of a previous pupil going to Syria?
• Parents - Did they talk to their daughters about the dangers and misinformation spread by ISIS? How quickly did they realize the girls had gone and did they immediately inform the police?
• Airline - Why did they let 3 young girls get on a plane to Turkey by themselves? Did they buy return tickets?
• Twitter - If there were known twitter accounts used by the previous girl to communicate with her friends why weren't they shut down?
• Police - Have they done anything to investigate how the first girl managed to get to Syria?
• Airport authorities - Surely 3 clearly young girls taking themselves off to Turkey should have raised some alarm bell with someone?

And most of all the girls themselves. WTF do they think they are doing?

Is it against the rules for teenagers to travel by themselves? I don't think it is. Maybe it should be, but as long as it isn't, then you can't blame the airline or airport authorities.

It's not against the law for teenagers over 13 to travel on their own.

It would be up to all the staff at the airport to question them. However as it was half term, Turkey is a popular holiday destination and young people do travel to holiday destinations without parents, why would they?

Lots of people don't look like their passport photos, and as it was a close family member it would be hard for security and airline staff to work out they weren't the same individual.
