UK: Syria fears prompt travel ban on five teenage girls
BBC News ^ | 20th March 2015 | BBC News

'Five teenage girls who had shown an interest in going to Syria have been barred from travelling abroad by a judge at London's High Court.

The girls - two aged 15 and three aged 16 - were made wards of court, removing their passports and banning them from leaving England and Wales.

It comes after Tower Hamlets local authority, in London, raised concerns.

Last month, three girls from an east London school travelled to Syria, where it is feared they joined Islamic State.

Making the order, Mr Justice Hayden directed that the girls were not identified, and also ordered the removal of the passports of a number of adults involved in their care.

There was evidence to suggest family members in the case had not been full and frank with social services, the judge said, and that the girls were becoming more radicalised.

"It seems to me that that must have been known to the parents and they deliberately did not share it with the authorities who were keen to protect these vulnerable young girls," Mr Justice Hayden added.'

Why not let the bad seed leave - afraid of losing any State dependents?

Indeed. Any silly stupid girl who wants to leave and join the terrorists should be allowed to do so.

Right after they first undergo their Female Genital Mutilation.

I wouldn't send teen girls into forced marriages in other countries, but that's me.

Jesus doesn't see 'bad seed'. Those girls pay for their own sins, not the sins of their fathers.

Nothing is being said about the religion of these girls.

I assume therefore that they are good Anglicans.

Admittedly it is I, not Jesus, who sees the bad seed here.

I do not see the point in forcing someone to stay who hates and wants to kill me. Teenager or otherwise.

I consider the source. I don't know that the girls really wanted to go. Most times, in that culture, Daddy rules the roost and they do what he wants. Especially with forced marriages of teen girls.

If they really are problems, they need dirt naps.

And they probably have good English girl's names like Huma, Fatima, Mufi'ah and Latifah.

Let them go and tell them, “Good riddance!” Just don’t let them come back.
