After watching the video the parents of these kids must be beyond distraught. I can't imagine if that was my kid (s).
The recruiting done by ISIS really has reached beyond where most of us think that if your an American your not going to fall for it. This video sure shows that we had best pay very close attention to what our kids are doing.
This issue has gained more attention recently. In fact I recently turned on TV News and saw representatives of three social media companies testifying before Congress.
Son of a Marine . . . and an honour student...
Modern day parenting:
"Aww mom, why can't I join ISIS, Jimmy and Johnny are joining."
"If Jimmy and Johnny jumped off the bridge, would you too?"
"But they're not, mom, they're joining ISIS...they're going to get to hack off someone's head!"
"Ha, you think so? They won't get anywhere near a beheading for years if ever."
"You don't know that mom, you don't know that, the recruiter says they will get to!"
"And you believe that? Remember Petey Brown who joined a couple years ago?"
"Yeah"
"Well, I talked to Mrs, Brown and all Petey's been doing is scrubbing toilets and looking after the goats!"
"Aww mom, you never let me do ANYTHING!!"
"Just forget about ISIS dear, and we'll have McDonald's tonight."
"Ok mom, but when I'm 18 I can join and there's nothing you can do about it."

Excellent article.
The fact that companies like FaceBook permit the recruitment to continue on the internet is criminal. The owmers of those sites should be imprisoned.
