DEAR News Of The Area,
THEIR mothers were young and naive when they left Australia to marry ISIS fighters. They were barely children themselves.
Allowing them to live in filth and squalor is a breeding ground for radicalisation, let alone shortening their lives due to malnourishment and disease.
They are Australian citizens and above all human beings.
The children are in this situation through no fault of their own.
They need to be with their mothers. That’s all they know.
Politicians, you are denying them their constitutional rights as Australian citizens. Having clean water and enough to eat are human rights.
Stop this political point scoring at the expense of these women and children who have no voice.
Regards,
Julia MERKEL,
Mid North Coast.
