Will they be able to get back when they realize what they have done?

doubtful I would think

Depends on what Ticket they bought,,it could be a one way trip.

I don't think it will be as easy as what ticket they bought.

Maybe not,,,

Latest on the news is the officials at the airport are getting the blame for not stopping them...

Surely it is up to the airline to check the passports for how old the girls are and why they are going to Turkey.

More and more kids are being slowly radicalized in this country than we can imagine. Once in that frame of mind they will do anything for the cause because they are taught to believe in martyrdom & the glory it will bring.

For the first time in our primary safeguarding training we have been given guidelines on flagging up kids who are showing signs of radicalization even though it's quite rare in primary (also to spot who may have been through FGM but thats another story)

More needs to be done in this country to dig the radicals out from under their stones to protect everyone in this country regardless of faith.

A start should be tighter controls on all faith schools, which I think in some instances (not all) assists families in segregating their children from any western influences, including past friends & lowers tolerance towards the western way of life...and it's people.

For most of those kids its ok, but for a few, like in any religion they are easy to manipulate so go to the next level.

well said Mildred

they won't be allowed to leave, no matter what kind of ticket they have.


They will be trained to shoot, and married off PDQ ................. then they will be under the control of a possibly violent husband, if some media stories are to be believed.



it's as difficult to control the girls as it is the boys who are being radicalized in countries all over the world.

WHATS going on in the World Today ??!!!
Teenagers sneaking into Syria?!

I used to sneak over Pally Park with a bottle of Woodpecker

and thought this was a bit risky!!!
:-D :-D

It's quite simple...

get rid of facebook

Someone less charitable than myself might think "good riddance". At least whilst they over there they are not becoming suicide bombers it this country. Bob

to be honest Bob I don't think they should
let them back in the country or
any more of them silly enough to go
they are a security risk to us all



they make their beds let them lie in them :-D :-D

fair point Bob

It's incomprehensible to me.

I suppose it is just as simple as brainwashing when it comes down to it? ...like teenagers who run away from home to join a cult ( lots of that in the 70s/80s?) but usually I think that is because the 'cult' seems somehow better and offers something they don't have at home...beats me what this 'cult' offers anyone...especially women.

oh, for heavens sake!


who RR'd Joy's post ............................


she was just expressing HER opinion,


England and GR are still zones of free speech, so far as I know.

do gooders unite...........protect us adult sinners from evil words.......


get a bloody life!!!

just been watching BBC World News ............... they reckon the girls crossed into Syria days ago.

They're probably married by now

So sad. What awful lives lie ahead of them.

so naïve, so misguided - God help them

I don't know if any of you watched the interview with one of the girls father's.

The reporter asked him""Have you ever talked to your daughter about the situation in Syria and what is going on there.""

The father said ""We never talked about anything like that and she wouldn't DARE ask about it""

Now that sounds to me like she couldn't discuss anything in her home enviroment with the family.

The father was so adamant that she wouldn't go to Syria.

Maybe this father brought the disappearance of his daughter on himself...
