    Kids who were smart enough to know exactly what they were going over to and then travelling over there. So trying to excuse this as childhood naivety is ridiculous. **** em, I hope their jolly goat ****ing husbands catch up with them.

    Kids as in children.
    Some here sound as bad as the crowd they're running away from.

    Aw come on lads: sixteen? who the hell is mature at 16?
    Silly, naive, gullible, rash, inexperienced, and idealistic. That's your typical 16-yr-old.

    It was a foolish and unwise and regrettable thing they did, with their wild adventure: but let us not damn them to jail for their idiotic choices. They thought it was a noble thing to do. and they know different now.

    Let us hope that they can be extricated safely by their worried and furious parents, and that they learn by their mistake. Like teenagers do. As we all did.
    Cripes, if we all had to live forever with our teenage poor choices!! -'nuff said: let the real adults be mature about this and hope this helps those three lassies to grow up!

    The best thing that can happen is they end up back in the UK, and have a tearful interview with Lorraine or similar TV figure.

    If they have broken a UK law then let the court decide their punishment.

    They can have their passports confiscated surely, didn't Cameron bring that anti terror law in a few months back?

    I dont remember joining a group of murderous terrorists thinking this will be a great bit of fun. Yes younger people make mistakes. Not many run off to join and marry a pack of bloodthirsty terrorists. But yeah lets focus on how they were "innocent"

    Let's keep that for people who are under the age of 12. At 16 they knew damn well what has happening in Syria and they also knew what Islamic State was. To say otherwise is insulting to 16 year olds.

    I totally agree. But I'm not going to take any pleasure in the situation they now find themselves in, like the OP.


    Good example, horrible warning, yadda.

    Utter idiots. If they do make it back. I trust the British government will have them locked up and rightly so.

    If they're not already knocked up....oops, I'll get my coat !:D

    Even if the British government repatriate them, their lives won't be worth living. From tabloid newspapers to hate mobs, they will never be able to re-integrate quietly.

    Eh, we do. Most of us just manage not to make such poor decisions at 16.

    There are plenty of single mothers out there living with the consequences of getting pregnant at 16, plenty of young men stuck in menial jobs or on the dole line because they left school at 16 to go work on the sites, thousands doing jobs they hate because they made poor choices on their CAO or chose not to study for their leaving cert etc.

    If the parents can afford to launch a rescue mission then I wish them well but I wouldn't think it fair to expect the British tax-payers to fund one.

    Can't blame the girls really, I've seen the ISIS brochure and I doubt that there really are bikini beach parties until dawn and €1 shots of jager all the time.

    There's a big difference in sheer idiocy between a teenager, say, experimenting with drugs and a teenager flying into a war zone with the intention of marrying a terrorist whose idea of fun is beheading people.

    Well educated, internet savvy 16 year olds. They knew what they were getting into.

    Two 15 year olds and a 16 year old.

    So we lower the age at which one can legally enter into a contract to 15 then?

    Thankfully no Irish people have ever been stupid, dangerously reckless and easily seduced by a manipulative war machine, so we can gleefully wallow in their comeuppance.

    Ah yes, the old "the irish are just as bad" argument which apparently means no irish person can ever make a scathing comment or negative observation about anything that happens in the world ever because at some time in the past another completely unrelated irish person may have done something similar.

    They're three stupid girls who made a terrible mistake and foolishly bought into a seductive and radicalising organisation. It isn't the first time this has happened. Plenty of young people have sadly gotten involved with cults in the past.

    The fact people are condemning three kids to jail and/or worse is ridiculous.

    If they're stupid enough to go home they should have their passports confiscated and be held in custody on charges of treason. I'd also have those bitches pistol whipped.

    They clearly didn't know what they were getting into, hence the being on the run bit.

    They travelled to a war zone secretly. I think they knew well it wasn't the best of ideas. Im sure they saw the coverage of their missing status all over european media news channels and saw they were in deep ****, yet they didn't stop at the turkish border.

    So it's okay to hope that the people they're running from catch them and do all manner of unspeakable acts to them, is it?

    Why do some people insist on acting like teenagers are somehow too stupid to know what they're doing? Sure, they don't have a lot of life experience and can be a bit impulsive, but 16 year olds hold down jobs, especially in the UK where quite a few people would leave school at 16, and it's not so long ago (and it's still the case in many countries around the world) that 16 would be considered the age when you'd be getting married. 16 year olds are not idiots that are incapable of understanding the consequences of their actions.

    That said, I don't see what these girls could be charged with other than 'gross stupidity'. Treason is a bit harsh. I think that the realisation of just how big a mistake they made, coupled with the knowledge of what will happen to them if their husbands catch up to them, is probably all the punishment they'd need.
