I do sympathise with her but it is kind of hard to believe that she seriously had no idea what ISIS was truly about when she first signed up and wasn’t able to take any cue whatsoever from the news/media about the dangers of it just because she was a teenager. But at the end of the day none of us really know her so it’s hard to say. I just know that I wouldn’t like to have been her during those years.

I believe the whole thing has effed her head up , but I agree that she was radicalised & brainwashed...but she still must have known this was wrong or atleast dangerous on some level. She was 15 not 9 so yeah .
Especially when isis was all over the news at the time aswell.
