    Hence my comment about their probable guilt.

      I'm sorry but what did she expect? Running off to be a child bride of some fighter in a war zone.

      OK I guess that's kinda the point with brainwashing / radicalisation. Maybe I'm a bastard but I struggle to have any sympathy here.

        Sympathy might be a tough one to feel, but she was basically a kid. If she'd been older, I would probably be slightly more black & white about it.

          she hopefully has provided a useful service by showing what happens to these Jihadi Brides.

          Bit sad her being 16 but lots of soldiers signed up during both world wars at that age.

              +1 Just like all those children who get abused etc, its the parents fault? This radicalisation is just another form of child abuse.

                To be fair, you have your kids doing singing and dancing. The Von Trapps was just one long story of am-dram child abuse.

                  Of course. They can't even take a dump without getting a signed form. He's Swiss dontchaknow.

                    That's a little harsh, he's progressive.

                    The form only needs one authorised signature now, it became rather complicated for the kids when it needed 4...........especially when 2 of those lived abroad

                      These were just kids who had been lead to believe that something was different to what it was. They got manipulated, plain and simple.

                      I've got two girls and it's a balancing act on how much to be involved with every aspect of what they're doing. Pushing too much will just make them push you out and keep secrets.

                      I feel very sad for the families involved. These kids weren't old enough to understand what they were doing.
