3 Schoolgirls who have gone to Syria

Good god yeah! When the lake froze over the last thing that our parents said when they went to work was "don't go down the lake today". It would appear that everyones parents had said the same thing as by lunchtime we were all riding our bikes on it!

 

Yes me too!!

 

These are not little kids we are talking about, they look like and practically are grown women.

Seems as though they had this well organised, whoever paid for the flights would have presumably provided transport for them also, I doubt they will ever be seen again, their choice!!

 

Here is my opinion, and I stress that it is only my opinion.

These girls are old enough to have taken on board and understood events like 9/11, the London bombings, the horrific murder of Lee Rigsby and the barbaric recent be-headings. Far from being appalled by any of this, they have decided to actually be a part of it.

I cannot help feeling that the rest of us are that little bit safer for three people of that mindset having left the country.

 

They have also been willing to lie to the police about their activities as they were questioned by the police last year. The police concluded that they weren't of interest - they must be good liars. They've also been prepared to steal and then use a stolen passport. They're grade A students so of high intelligence and internet savvy so are quite capable of researching their new life and the men involved in it. I'd be more likely to think a solitary young person as vulnerable to some sort of brainwashing. Here there are three of them. They've been discussing it and planning it. They obviously support all the atrocities that have been going on. They want to start a new life and support the cause - vulnerable my ar$e! JMO

 

I'm with you to a point..
The young are vulnerable perhaps in a way our.. Cough cough generation were not ? Im supposing many on here are in the Err more mature variety (Or just like me old) as this is a mature pastime that you lot have got me into.

I think we overprotect our young and it can make the vulnerable at times. Nothing wrong with that just another generation thing.
It is easy to say their internet use should have been monitored more closely but young and vulnerable doesn't mean they arent crafty. It must be quite hard to achieve total monitoring especially when we consider how much more the young can do with these new fangled machines of complexity.

All I hope is they come back safe and sound and someone is able to rid their heads of the rubbish some idiots have filled them with..

Should we not allow them back ? Well come on who would actually say no when it really comes down to it. They are after all young and even if completely fooled surely a second chance is only reasonable ? They would have to looked after and closely monitored of course ..

So a question.. Some say give them a break and yes under the right circumstances they should be allowed back. Now would we say the same if they were young men ? I think not,

The real victims here are the family and parents .....

 

I think I kinda did at the beginning of the thread?

 

Well, it's out of our hands now. They are in Syria,

Oh yeah, school was different, loads of mates.
Drag that 15 yr old out the classroom and and put him in a strange environment, on his own, with adults, and I guarantee you have a different individual.

And that was 45 yrs ago.

 

So they got what they wanted, ISIS will never let them return. As I think I said before the group of young men who wanted to come back home are now in ISIS prisons which apparently are appalling as you can imagine.

 

Then we can only hope other young females will not follow them,
Jenny

 

Well it's their choice isn't it?

 

Poor souls, I fear for them and their poor parents. I can remember being young, idealistic and doing rash and stupid things and I had brilliant, loving, caring parents. I did have to face the consequences of what I'd done, but it was nothing like the consequences these girls are going to suffer.
