Never forget how young #ShamimaBegum was when she left for Syria. A sheltered teenager from Bethnal Green who was radicalised online by highly skilled adults who specialised in grooming young Muslims.

The other two girls never got the chance for redemption as they were killed.
No child ever realised they are being groomed. Not my friends who were dating adult men when we were 15, not the girls in Rotherham targeted by grooming gangs, and not the young girls targeted & groomed to marry adult ISIS fighters.

The UK has done the right thing today.
All the videos of Shamima Begum show a highly traumatised girl talking about the deaths of her 3 children like it’s something that happened to someone else.

She is a UK citizen & deserves the medical care other UK citizens in custody get access to. People CAN be deradicalised
I know this has triggered a lot of gammons and nationalists but remember - if paedophiles rapists and murderers get put on trial and given due process in the UK then radicalised children absolutely should too.
