what to do with terrorists children

[amalan11]

I was thinking this is a very hard situation, I read an article about interviews with former slaves of the Australian terrorist who took  his wife and children to Syria .The ex slaves said the children were constantly threatening them, beating them and saying they were going to behead them while filming it.

They also said the wife and kids are wanting to come back to Australia , im thinking the men will not dare set foot here as they have committed war crimes , the wife I imagine could be jailed but what the heck could be done with the kids? 

I can't believe they could ever be rehabilitated  ,i would not trust them ever after that type of behavior

But there is nothing could be done with them under Australian laws. Even though they are only children I can't help thinking it would be best if they die over there

what happens to any single mothers children when they get sent tp prison?

Too late. 😞

Even though they are children of a single mother, they could still have a father who they could live with, maternal or paternal grandparents... or other close/family friends. Depends how long the mother's sentence is... others might be able to look after them for a short period of time (less than a year).

A child with no one to live with, if  their only parent goes to jail would become a ward of the state, I presume.

Recently a mother of 3 in my area, was charged and convicted of stealing customers money (bank teller), she was very lucky to get supervised detention at home. I would say having 3 young children would have swung in her favour.

It is very frightning  how fast the kids seem to have become so awful.when the mum  first took them over there to join the jihad their father was involved in they were said to be nice ordinary kids at a public school and normal as and that was Sept from memory.

single mothers can comprise widowers etc

Widows. They still could have grand parents and grand parents in law, aunts, uncles, older siblings....

The wife took the kids over and she was already on bail for assistance to terrorism .The kids from memory are about  8 to 14.Its just awful to think kids can be so bad I remember  the father was posting photos on social media of the boys holding severed heads and automatic weapons. With a father like him I suppose the children would turn out bad as well

They're not bad. They have been conditioned. Maybe lost causes, because, frankly, kids the same age without the baggage are not what society expects.

I don't like your last statement. Children are not necessarily their parents.

[amalan11]

I know its not always the case, I just wonder if the children ever really had much of a chance to turn out ok when they are exposed to such terrible things by their own parents
.On one hand I feel they must be monsters but on the other had I do feel sad they have come to that when with sane parents perhaps they could have led happy constructive lives and their father is known to be mentaly ill with Bi Poler
