This decision has to be one of Turnbulls most stupid yet.

Dozens of children of ISIS jihadists to be resettled in Australia

Some 70 children of ISIS terrorists are to be resettled in Australia following an assessment on any potential security risks.

The Australian government said it plans to bring back children who were either taken with their parents to the conflict in Syria and Iraq or who were born to Australian parents while out there.

The country’s justice minister Michael Keenan said that each child would be vetted for any potential risks before being given new homes, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

He said: “Agencies then consider the welfare and support needs of the children – from counselling support through to their education needs.”

Anyone born overseas to at least one Australian parent has a right to citizenship meaning the government may face applications from children in Syria and Iraq.

Security agencies estimate that there are around 110 Australians still fighting with terror groups in Iraq and Syria.

I can also see the charities rubbing there hands together seeing the potential for getting millions of dollars to look after them.

Sheer lunacy on the part of the Coalition, who previously told the grandmother of some of these children - who will be very badly damaged by their experiences, and will grow more dangerous to Australian society by the day - that they could not and would not take any action.

Now, they than can and will take action. It is clear that the Turnbull, Leftist government can not be trusted - ever! They believe that they can do what they like, when they like, based on their own whims. They deny any responsibility or loyalty to the country and people. They get more totalitarian all the time.

'Is terrorism hereditary?' by and large yes

Yes, runner. I would say particularly so in the the case of children of the creep who had his son holding a decapitated head. Children of jihadists could not possibly escape having their minds permanently damaged by association.

Dear Philip S.,

Mr Keenan has said that each child who returns
will be individually case-managed and will
receive an education. Plus the fact that they
will also be offered anonymity to distance
themselves from the terror organisation is
surely a good action for the Australian government
to take seeing as by law anyone who is born overseas
and has at least one Australian parent is allowed to
apply for citizenship.

It seems to me as if the government does have
matters well in hand.

I think that to conclude that a criminal is the product
of bad parents may satisfy a theory but it ignores
the reality that children make choices from an early
age and that criminals come from a very wide variety
of backgrounds.

Of course parents who are psychologically disturbed are
likely to have an adverse impact on their offspring.
But this is not to say that invariably their children will
become perpetrators of heinous crimes.

Fortunately most children who suffer abuse do not become
criminals. Some criminals are the children of parents
who are devoted, stable, and responsible.

Blaming parents is easy to do, but it distracts us from
understanding the mind of the perpetrator.
Coming to terms with a person who leaves behind them a
trail of carnage as they victimize others should make us
address the questions of good and evil and to look on
the chilling choices that some people make, whether or
not they had good or bad parents.

Here is a positive link of someone who was able to turn
their life around and today contributes a great deal to
others in our society. We can only hope that if we
help this small number of unfortunate children - they
will also be able to thrive in our country:
