I’m conflicted on this but only in terms of the failure of our government to deal with this and what they should have done . I can’t help but think legislation should have been considered to combat this problem dealing with the evidentiary issues of those that travelled and supported the state but we have no evidence actually participated in war crimes . By that I mean by joining the caliphate should you be forced or considered to have surrendered your British citizenship , I know many countries don’t allow dual citizenship . Perhaps legislation should have been considered that those travelling had committed a criminal offence and that offence put before Parliament. Although I’ve no idea how to do that or how it’d be written. . I think the failure to do that is why we find ourselves here .
The fact she left as a child would probably be more compelling if she had seemed to leave behind the rhetoric but she hasn’t . Also plenty of children are arrested and prosecuted and have come from terrible positions , if you look at county lines or grooming incidents if somebody has lived through that to adulthood they aren’t excused all criminal responsibility once they reach 19 despite the difficulties they’ve been through .
At the minute though given where we are I don’t know what the answer is as it doesn’t seem we can do anything as she is a British citizen . I do know if she does return home to the U.K. , where worryingly many other have under less fanfare , I’d imagine social services would be involved following the birth of her child as she’s clearly incredibly unsuitable as a mother and the child’s welfare has to be considered.
