In the olden days, she'd have been burned at the stake for treason.
Nowadays, she's the victim.

1. Salem was witch trials not treason
2. The small number of people who were convicted were hanged, not burned at the stake.

People convicted of treason were predominantly hung, drawn and quartered. Burning was usually for being a heretic and even then was quite rare.

You can’t have it both ways. Either she’s innocent in the U.K. and it’s nothing to do with us and she should be allowed in with no restrictions, or we do have an issue with her and should apply our laws. As I say, I doubt the “country” she committed her crimes in has the ability or inclination to do anything right now.

I’m not sure on the current situation, whether or not she has UK citizenship any more.

If at some point in the future, she “turns up at the UK border” then yes we should then treat her as a UK citizen (hopefully within the justice system).

What we shouldn’t do is lift so much as a finger to help her get back here...

Either people get tried in other countries or we bring them all here for sentencing.

Did she commit any crimes in the UK?

If she didn’t, why do you care if she’s let back in?

Not our problem, right?

Is it just her you want brought back to stand trial or is it all of them that have left the UK to become terrorists? Sounds like it is in the thousands.

So let's bring back thousands of them. Let's put thousands of them in prison. How long do they get? Do they get to stay in the UK after their sentences? Do we try and keep an eye on them all?

1000’s? It’s about 900 isn’t it? Many of who have been killed so I’m not sure where you’re getting thousands from.

Also I don’t think she is a victim solely. She was as a 15 year old but has committed acts since that are awful and criminal and should be held to account for in a just and fair manner

She would also have been the one convicted for pre-marital sex. Her fault for not being prudish enough that the bloke couldn't control himself.

My daughter is 15 and doesn't. Clearly not. She is very impressionable and at times, naïve.

It is a very valid point.

But some want to bring them back. That is unless it is just those who ask through the media.

If we start to bring them back how do we decide who does and who doesn't?

But the older she got the worse she got. And at her present age she showed no remorse at all. That was the part that got me.

I agree. She has been traumatised by her experiences I’m sure but hard to defend the lack of remorse or regret

Yes, true. Do we know how long the radicalisation process took with her, to turn her?

Not absurd, but not a good idea.

My daughter's head of year rang me last week and said my daughter is one of the most mature students in her year.

Listening to my daughter talk about her peers, yep, at 16 they are not mature enough to make an informed choice I don't think.

But how much do you think that'll change in the two years following? What I can't get is that 16 is considered fine to be mature enough regarding sex, relationships and to have and care for children, but not mature enough to think of who they might want to vote for.

Two years is massive. If I look at my daughter when she was 13 and now at 15, the difference is palpable. Big difference between when she was 14 and now at 15 too.

2 years at that sort of age can be huge I would say.

The crime she is alleged to have committed is technically and likely to have been in this country in any case. It isn't illegal to go to Syria.

Her alleged crime is more to do with the Preparation of Terrorism rather than it in itself. Hence she should be tried here. There is also genuine public interest in understanding who and what radicalised her

It's very contradictory isn't it. Too young to vote, but at 15 they know exactly what they are doing.
