Just heard on BBC news a reporter said one reason is that she has shown zero remorse and spoke exactly like other extremists - still. Whilst it us unfortunate fir her...
I think it's the right decision given the circumstances....what are your thoughts?

Fair enough.

Yes, there's loads we don't know

Sorry, I haven't RTFT so may have missed more complex discussion, but this case has made a permanent impression on me. As my child was born here and my DH is British, I did toy with the idea of British citizenship. I've since chosen the citizenship (I have to choose as it's single citizenship) for my child which most aligns with their ethnic/outward appearance, i.e. that of my home country.

I actually do think the right call was made in these circumstances – to me, the notion of citizenship is rooted in a social contract – but genuinely can't quite imagine the same call being made for a white 15 year old British girl, especially not a middle-class one. I hardly think my child is going to run off and join ISIS, but such factors might be relevant for example in differing amounts of foreign aid volunteered (as we've seen in other cases comparable to each other) if my child ever gets trapped abroad etc.

Not necessarily. Do all parents on here continually monitor what their kids are doing online? Given how much they now have to be online for homework etc. I don't know. I'm sure groomers go for the vulnerable and know how to get to them in ways that will win them over.
