There is an element of trial by media, but the home secretary was clearly under huge pressure not to allow the girl back in as that would have created a real backlash from the public.
I have heard that it was known this girl was being groomed but the parents were informed.
Its hard for the parents -they cant get their daughter or grandaughter back to the UK as things stand -yes I know those that have had children killed by terrorism cant either.....there are no winners in war.
One thing we should remember, however abhorrent this girl and others are, they should be treated with respect and the process of law should be followed -otherwise the UK lowers itself to the level of the terrorists.
Guantanamo bay is an example of how not to do it. Detaining people in cages without trial........what a wonderful country
