3 teenage girls from Denver, CO steal $2000 from each of their parents, take their passports and fly as far as Germany before they were arrested.
The girls have returned to the US, but will not face any charges since they are minors. The FBI is investigating how the girls were able to access and research websites relating to ISIS/ISIL without raising red flags.
Hopefully the FBI investigates the parents thoroughly. There's no way these three teenage girls just up and decide on their own to join a terrorist group. No way. Most teenage girls are clueless about their own local news or issues, much less getting information on joining a terrorist group thousands of miles away in a foreign land.
Where did they get the idea? Have they heard their parents talking at home, possibly sympathizing with ISIS/ISIL? Do they have family overseas who are part of ISIS/ISIL?
I don't agree with no charges being filed, especially with one being 17 years old. They should be on a watch list, because if they were willing to fly to a foreign country to join a terror group at their age now, who knows what they will try to do when they get older.
